“the two leaders and I and Senator Kennedy have had an opportunity to talk about, first, the parliamentary situation and, secondly, an amendment that the Senator from Massachusetts desires to bring up. We have come to an agreement whereby for the next 30 minutes, we will leave the procedure of the pending amendment in place, and the Senator from Massachusetts will be recognized to address the Senate with regard to the subject of an amendment that he intends to bring up at some point in time.
