                      UNANIMOUS CONSENT AGREEMENT

  Mr. DOLE. Mr. President, I think we have a consent agreement now. I 
will recite it. If there are any questions I will be happy to respond.
  I ask unanimous consent that during the Senate's consideration of 
H.R. 956, all second-degree amendments to the Dole amendment must be 
debated during today's session of the Senate.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  Mr. DOLE. I further ask that any votes ordered on or in relation to 
second-degree amendments to the Dole amendment, No. 617, occur 
beginning at 11:15, and that the final vote in the sequence be on or in 
relation to the Dole amendment, No. 617, as amended, if amended.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  Mr. HEFLIN. Just a moment. I reserve the right to object.
  I mean if the final--oh, I see; in the sequence in relationship. So 
it does not mean that that is the final vote of the day or anything 
like that?
  Mr. DOLE. No. I wish it were.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  Mr. DOLE. I further ask that at the hour of 10:15 a.m. there be 1 
hour for debate to be equally divided between the two managers for 
discussion on any of the pending amendments to the Dole amendment.
  Mr. HEFLIN. I assume that, in regards to that, it is to the managers, 
between the managers. That means that people who are opponents to the 
various amendments rather than the managers would be--
  -- [[Page S5993]] Mr. DOLE. I think that provision is set to 
accommodate the Senator from Alabama. If the Senator from West Virginia 
has no objection, I can say to the Members in opposition----
  Mr. ROCKEFELLER. The Senator from West Virginia will do it in any way 
that is equitable.
  Mr. HEFLIN. Why not put it that half of the time be under control of 
Senator Hollings or his designee?
  Mr. DOLE. Would that be all right with the Senator from West 
Virginia?
  Mr. ROCKEFELLER. That will be fine.
  Mr. DOLE. So I modify the request, time to be equally divided between 
Senator Gorton and Senator Hollings or their designees.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  Mr. DOLE. I further ask that following the disposition of the Dole 
amendment, as amended, if amended, Senator Thompson be recognized to 
offer an amendment to limit the bill to Federal court cases only.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  Mr. DOLE. So I say to my colleagues, there will be no votes tonight. 
But anybody who has a second-degree amendment to the Dole amendment, or 
anybody who wishes to debate, we will be in session as long as that may 
take.
  I thank my colleagues on both sides for agreeing to this request.
  I yield the floor.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Mississippi.
  Mr. COCHRAN. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent if I could 
proceed as in morning business for 5 minutes?
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
