majority leader be recognized; that if cloture is invoked, Senator 
Toomey or designee be recognized for the purpose of raising a budget 
point of order against the pending substitute amendment; that if the 
point of order is raised, Senator Leahy or designee be recognized to 
move to waive the budget point of order; that there be 10 minutes of 
debate prior to a vote in relation to the motion to waive; that no
