                           ORDER OF PROCEDURE

  Mr. INHOFE. Mr. President, it is my understanding that the junior 
Senator from California is going to want to yield back the morning 
business time, I suppose, and get on with the bill; is that correct?
  Mrs. BOXER. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the remaining 
morning business time be yielded back, and under the previous order, 
the Chair will report the motion to proceed to S. 3036.
  Mr. INHOFE. Will the Senator yield for a question?
  Mrs. BOXER. Sure.
  Mr. INHOFE. I assume the Senator has an opening statement to make, 
and I do, too, on this legislation we are going to be going to. If you 
have an opening statement, Senator Specter would like to follow you and 
I would follow him. Is that an order that would be acceptable to the 
Senator?
  Mrs. BOXER. I have to check because I have a number of Democratic 
Senators who wish to partake if we go to this. How much time will we 
have on this?
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. The time until 5:30 will be equally 
divided.
  Mrs. BOXER. If the Senators could put a time certain on it, and I 
will be happy to put a time certain on my time?
  Mr. SPECTER. Five minutes.
  Mrs. BOXER. Five minutes? Great.
  Mr. INHOFE. Twenty-five minutes.
  Mrs. BOXER. I would have 25 minutes, to be followed by Senator 
Specter for 5, then followed by Senator Inhofe for 25, to be followed 
by Senator Lieberman for 20.
  I make that as a unanimous consent request.
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. Is there objection? Without 
objection, it is so ordered.
