                            MORNING BUSINESS

  Mr. WARNER. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that there now be 
a period for the transaction of morning business, with Senators 
permitted to speak therein for up to 10 minutes each.
  The leader will subsequently inform the Senate, but I expect the 
Senate to reconvene about 12 noon on Monday, with morning business 
until 1 o'clock. And there is currently set a cloture vote for 3 p.m. 
Monday afternoon.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection?
  Mr. LEAHY. Mr. President, reserving the right to object--of course, I 
shall not--I know the distinguished Senator from New Hampshire is on 
the floor and wishes to speak. He has already mentioned that. I know 
our side has been speaking for some time.
  I wonder if we might know the order of the 10-minute order. Will the 
distinguished senior Senator from Virginia be willing to amend that to 
ask that the Senator from New Hampshire be recognized first in the 
order of those speaking as in morning business, and then the Senator 
from Vermont be recognized following that?

  Mr. WARNER. Mr. President, I am perfectly willing to do that. I think 
the Chair should be addressed by the Senator from New Hampshire first.
  Mr. SMITH. Reserving the right to object, I would like to have 20 
minutes, if that would be agreeable to the Senator from Vermont.
  Mr. LEAHY. And the Senator from Vermont be recognized, say, at 1:22.
  Mr. WARNER. Mr. President, I so modify my request.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is it the Senator's request that we proceed to 
morning business with a limitation of 10 minutes, except that the 
Senator from New Hampshire have the opportunity to speak for 20 
minutes; and what about the Senator from Vermont?
  Mr. LEAHY. Also 20 minutes.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Also 20 minutes. Is that the request?
  Mr. WARNER. Mr. President, that is the request.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  The Senator from New Hampshire is recognized.
  Mr. SMITH. I thank the Chair.
