                              THE SCHEDULE

  Mr. MITCHELL. Mr. President, Members of Senate, as the distinguished 
presiding officer has just noted, there will now be a period for 
morning business in which Senators may address the Senate on any 
subject for up to 5 minutes each. That period for morning business will 
conclude at 10 a.m., at which time the Senate will resume consideration 
of the health care reform legislation.
  I am pleased that the Senate was able finally to begin voting on 
amendments last evening, pleased at the adoption of the Dodd amendment. 
We will now proceed to receive an amendment to be offered by Republican 
colleagues today. We have not yet had an opportunity to see or review 
that amendment. I hope we get the chance to do so shortly. And then we 
will debate that amendment during the day.
  Without knowing what the amendment will be, it is not possible to 
estimate when we will be able to proceed to vote on it, but Senators 
should be prepared for debate and the possibility of voting during the 
day, depending on the nature of the amendment and the length of debate.
  Mr. President, I note the presence of the distinguished Senator from 
Utah on the floor who is, I believe, here to be recognized in morning 
business, and I yield the floor.
  The PRESIDENT pro tempore. The Senator from Utah [Mr. Bennett] is 
recognized for not to exceed 5 minutes.
  Mr. BENNETT. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent I be able to 
proceed for up 10 minutes if my statement requires that much time.
  The PRESIDENT pro tempore. Without objection, it is so ordered.
