                 UNANIMOUS CONSENT AGREEMENT--H.R. 2608

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, I apologize to all Members for not being 
able to get here more quickly, but we have done the best we can. I have 
been waiting to hear from the Speaker for the last half hour or so and 
he has not called.
  I ask unanimous consent that at 11:20 this morning, not withstanding 
the message not having been received from the House with respect to 
H.R. 2608, the House message be considered to have been laid before the 
Senate; further, that I may move to concur in the House amendment to 
the Senate amendment to H.R. 2608 with an amendment, the text of which 
is the House amendment with a technical change; that there be 10 
minutes of debate, equally divided, between the two leaders or their 
designees; that upon the use or yielding back of that time, the 
majority leader be recognized to move to table the motion to concur 
with an amendment and the Senate proceed to a vote on the motion to 
table the motion to concur with an amendment, with no intervening 
action or debate.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection? Without objection, it is 
so ordered.
  Mr. REID. I suggest the absence of a quorum and ask the time be 
equally divided.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered. The clerk 
will call the roll.
  The assistant legislative clerk proceeded to call the roll.
  Mr. REID. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent the order for the 
quorum call be rescinded.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  Mr. REID. Mr. President, we can see there is not a stampede to talk, 
so I now ask unanimous consent that notwithstanding the previous order, 
the motion to table be in order now.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
