in connection with Committee Recommenda-
tions LB-3 and JB-2 which are next on the
agenda after we conclude the Committee
Recommendations on General Provisions, I
move that the debate on these committee
recommendations be limited to the extent
that the presentation by the sponsor of the
amendment be allowed ten minutes in-
cluding time yielded for answering ques-
tions and that all other speeches be limited
to three minutes. There is no debate sched-
ule on this because there is no minority
report and this is following the usual prac-
tice that we have adopted in the course of
consideration of all committee recommenda-
tions.
