Mr. BAKER. Mr. President, reserving the right to object, and I will not object, I commend the majority leader and the distinguished Senator from Maine for arriving at this accommodation in order to establish a regularity in our proceedings tomorrow. There is no objection on this side. I have consulted with the principals involved in these two amendments, and with Senator PACKWOOD. I know of no other objection to it and I therefore will not object.
