                           ORDER OF PROCEDURE

  Mr. KENNEDY. Mr. President, I understand there is a time allocation; 
am I correct?
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. That is correct.
  Mr. KENNEDY. Could the President tell us the time allocation 
remaining?
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Republicans have 9 minutes remaining and 
the majority has 35 minutes.
  Mr. KENNEDY. I note that the Senator from Maine was on the floor 
before I came down, and I know there are other Senators, Senator 
Roberts being one, who wanted to speak, and I think Senator Burr. We 
also have a number on our side.
  My ranking member is here, and I imagine he will allocate the time on 
his side. I am glad to have the good Senator from Maine go ahead. I 
understand there are 9 minutes in total on her side.
  Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that I be allowed to follow 
her.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
