         TELECOMMUNICATIONS COMPETI- TION AND DEREGULATION ACT

  The Senate continued with the consideration of the bill.
  Mr. PRESSLER. Mr. President, I urge Senators to come to the floor to 
use the time. Mr. President, is time running on amendments if Senators 
are not present?
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Time is not running.
  Mr. PRESSLER. Time only runs when they actually speak? 
[[Page S8420]] 
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The 30 minutes allocated to Senators for 
discussion of amendments is running only when those Senators are on the 
floor speaking as to that amendment.
  Mr. PRESSLER. In view of the fact that the majority leader has stated 
a desire to vote by about noon, I hope that Senators will come to the 
floor.
  Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent to speak as in morning 
business for 5 minutes on a separate subject.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  Mr. PRESSLER. Let me emphasize, that upon the arrival of any Senator 
with business on the telecommunications bill, I will immediately yield 
the floor.
