permitting S. 1248 to be introduced on the floor. Senators will

UNANIMOUS CONSENT AGREEMENT--S. 1248 -- (Senate - November 21,
2003)
[Page: S15500]
Mr. FRIST. I ask unanimous consent that at a time to be
determined by the majority leader in consultation with the
minority leader, the Senate proceed to consideration of Calendar
No. 362, S. 1248, the IDEA Act Reauthorization bill, and that it
be considered under the following limitations: That the
following amendments be the only first-degree amendments in
order, other than the committee-reported substitute amendment,
and that any second-degree amendments be relevant to the
first-degree amendment to which they are offered: Gregg or his
designee, IDEA attorney's fees; Gregg or his designee, IDEA
funding; Gregg or his designee, IDEA paperwork reduction; Gregg
or his designee, IDEA relevant; Harkin, IDEA funding; Murray,
IDEA for the homeless; Clinton, coordinating data on
developmental disabilities; Kennedy or his designee, IDEA
relevant; Gregg-Kennedy, managers' amendment.
I further ask that upon disposition of all amendments, the
committee substitute as amended be agreed to, the bill as
amended be read a third time, and the HELP Committee be
discharged from further consideration of H.R. 1350, the House
companion bill, and the Senate then proceed to its immediate
consideration; provided further that all after the enacting
clause be stricken, and the text of S. 1248, as amended, be
inserted in lieu thereafter, the bill, as amended, be read a
third time and the Senate proceed to a vote on passage, without
any intervening action or debate, and following the vote the
motion to reconsider be laid upon the table. I further ask that
after the vote on passage, S. 1248 be returned to the calendar.
The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
