                 UNANIMOUS-CONSENT AGREEMENT--H.R. 6331

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that upon 
disposition of H.R. 6304; that is, the FISA legislation, the motion to 
proceed to the motion to reconsider the vote by which cloture was not 
invoked on the motion to proceed to H.R. 6331 be agreed to, the motion 
to reconsider be agreed to, and the time until 4 p.m. be for debate 
prior to a vote on the motion to invoke cloture on the motion to 
proceed, with the time equally divided and controlled between the 
leaders or their designees; that at 4 p.m., with no intervening action 
or debate, the Senate proceed to vote on the motion to invoke cloture.
  Before the Chair rules on my request, I would like to make a 
parliamentary inquiry with reference to an agreement of June 26 with 
respect to H.R. 6331. Am I correct that if cloture is invoked on the 
motion to proceed to H.R. 6331, all postcloture time is yielded back 
and the Senate will then vote on passage of the bill with no 
intervening action or debate?
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. The majority leader is correct.
  Is there objection to the request of the majority leader? Without 
objection, it is so ordered.
