                     EXTENSION OF MORNING BUSINESS

  Mr. SIMPSON. What is the parliamentary situation, Mr. President?
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Chair advises the Senator from Wyoming 
that morning business was to have closed at 1 o'clock, although the 
Senator would have an option to extend it.
  Mr. SIMPSON. Mr. President, I do not like to do that, and do not do 
it often at all; however, I will do so.
  I ask unanimous consent that I may be allowed an additional 35 
minutes.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  Mr. SIMPSON. I thank the Chair because I know full well that it is 
the staff that needs the recess as much as we do. I cannot tell you how 
much we appreciate what they do for us, especially when we have had a 
week where there were 39 rollcall votes one day and some 20 the next or 
the day before, everybody back behind these halls that we do not see, 
the reporters--I never like to take advantage of that. But I have an 
important measure, Mr. President.

  (The remarks of Mr. SIMPSON and Mrs. FEINSTEIN pertaining to the 
introduction of S. 1394 are located in today's Record under 
``Statements on Introduced Bills and Joint Resolutions.'')
