                                 RECESS

  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Under the previous order, the hour of 12:30 
p.m. having arrived, the Senate will stand in recess until 2:15 p.m. 
today.
  There being no objection, the Senate, at 12:40 p.m., recessed until 
2:16 p.m.; whereupon, the Senate reassembled when called to order by 
the Presiding Officer (Mr. DeWine).
  Mr. PRYOR. Mr. President, I suggest the absence of a quorum.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will call the roll.
  The legislative clerk proceeded to call the roll.
  Mr. PRYOR. Madam President, I ask unanimous consent that the order 
for the quorum call be rescinded.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mrs. Hutchison). Without objection, it is so 
ordered.
  Mr. PRYOR. Madam President, I ask unanimous consent I may proceed as 
in morning business. I ask unanimous consent that the time that I use 
not be charged against either side managing the bill that is now the 
pending business of the Senate.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection?
  Mrs. KASSEBAUM. Reserving the right to object, and I will not do so, 
just to suggest we are waiting for, I believe, probably Senator 
Jeffords and Senator Pell to offer the first amendment. But certainly I 
look forward to Senator Pryor being able to speak as in morning 
business.
  Mr. SIMON. I thank the Chair. I thank my distinguished colleague from 
Kansas.
  I see the distinguished Senator from Rhode Island here at this time. 
I am wondering if he would like for me to withdraw my consent request 
and allow him to offer his amendment.
  Mr. PELL. Madam President, I think I would prefer that the sponsor of 
the amendment have the first opportunity.
   Mr. PRYOR. I thank the distinguished Senator. I will proceed. I will 
be sensitive to the time constraint that we are faced with.
  (The remarks of Mr. Pryor pertaining to the introduction of S. 1299 
are located in today's Record under ``Statements on Introduced Bills 
and Joint Resolutions.'')
  Mr. PRYOR. Mr. President, I thank once again the distinguished 
manager of the bill and my colleague from Rhode Island, who allowed me 
to go before him. I thank them.
