                            MORNING BUSINESS

  The PRESIDENT pro tempore. Under the previous order, there will now 
be a period for the transaction of morning business not to extend 
beyond the hour of 9:45 a.m. with Senators permitted to speak therein 
for 5 minutes each.
  Mr. BYRD addressed the Chair.
  The PRESIDENT pro tempore. The distinguished Senator from West 
Virginia is recognized.
  Mr. BYRD. Mr. President, I only need about 10 minutes for my remarks. 
Would the distinguished Senator from Wyoming be using more than 5 
minutes? If not, I will be glad to yield and let him proceed ahead of 
me.
  Mr. THOMAS. I expect to use 5 minutes.
  Mr. BYRD. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that I may follow 
the Senator from Wyoming and that I may proceed for 10 minutes.
  Mrs. BOXER. Reserving the right to object, and I will not object. I 
wonder if we can amend that so that I can have 7 minutes following the 
Senator from West Virginia in morning business.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. Campbell). Will the Senator from West 
Virginia amend his request?
  Mr. THURMOND. Reserving the right to object. I would like 5 minutes 
following the Senator from California.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Does the Senator from West Virginia amend his 
request?
  Mr. BYRD. Yes, I so amend it.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
