Mr. President, under the current unanimous consent agreement, there will be 10 minutes now for Senator Merkley, then to be alternated to the Republican side. Actually, it would go first to the Republican side, then back to Senator Merkley. Then, if there is a Republican, it would go back to the Republican and then back to me. That is the current agreement. Senator Enzi wishes to speak for up to 30 minutes. He has been gracious enough to agree that both Senator Merkley and I go with our 10-minute remarks before him. I modify the unanimous consent agreement and ask unanimous consent that Senator Merkley be recognized for 10 minutes and then I be recognized for up to 10 minutes and then Senator Enzi be recognized for up to 30 minutes. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered. The Senator from Oregon.
