  Mr. SESSIONS. Mr. President, the pending amendment No. 2875, offered 
by the Senator from Nevada, Senator Reid, would cause the underlying 
legislation to exceed the authorizing committee's section 302(a)

Congressional Budget Act of 1974.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Montana.
  Mr. TESTER. Mr. President, pursuant to section 904 of the 
Congressional Budget Act of 1974 and the waiver provisions of 
applicable budget resolutions, I move to waive all applicable sections 
of that act and applicable budget resolutions for purposes of this 
pending amendment.
  I ask for the yeas and nays.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there a sufficient second?
  There is a sufficient second.
  All postcloture time has expired. The question is on agreeing to the

further, that at a time to be determined by the majority leader after

so ordered.
