                           ORDER OF PROCEDURE

  Mr. CORNYN. Mr. President, reserving the right to object, can I 
kindly ask the assistant leader something, and this is a matter of 
accommodation. We have two speakers on the Republican side and two on 
the Democratic side. Would he be amenable to entering into an order to 
lock in the order and go back and forth?
  Mr. DURBIN. I have no objection. May I have some suggestion about the 
time for each? Senators Wyden and Moran want to speak.
  Mr. WYDEN. Mr. President, I think that is a reasonable request. 
Senator Moran and I, who have teamed up on Internet policy, wish to 
speak for a few minutes, if we could follow each other. We plan to be 
brief. The Senator from Illinois will be brief. Is that acceptable?
  Mr. CORNYN. I ask whether the Senator from Illinois would agree that 
following his comments I be recognized for 10 minutes, and then go back 
and forth.
  Mr. DURBIN. Mr. President, here is what I suggest to the Senator from 
Texas. Senator Wyden and Senator Moran already asked for time. I only 
ask for 3 minutes to speak about Senator Kirk, and then I will turn it 
over to them. I will not speak at length. After they have spoken--can 
the Senator suggest a time?
  Mr. WYDEN. Five or 10 minutes each. We will be brief.
  Mr. DURBIN. And then we will go back to the Senator's side. Is that 
fair?
  Mr. CORNYN. Yes.
  Mr. DURBIN. I ask unanimous consent that that be the order.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
