  Mr. LOTT. Mr. President, I suggest the absence of a quorum.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will call the roll.
  The assistant legislative clerk proceeded to call the roll.
  Mr. DORGAN. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the order for 
the quorum call be rescinded.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  Mr. DORGAN. Mr. President, I have 20 minutes in morning business; is 
that correct?
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. We are in morning business until noon. The 
Senator has 20 minutes reserved.
  Mr. DORGAN. Thank you very much.
