                     EXTENSION OF MORNING BUSINESS

  Mr. BRYAN. I ask unanimous consent that morning business be extended 
for a period of 20 minutes, so I might be accommodated for my 10 
minutes and the distinguished Senator from Alaska may be accommodated 
for his 10 minutes.
  Mr. SIMPSON. Mr. President, I shall not object. I do not think there 
is any need for all this activity, and I have the greatest respect. I 
am supposed to be up at 10 o'clock. So I am not going to lose any sleep 
on that. Let us proceed and then we will go to the regular order. 
Senator Murkowski can have 5 minutes and certainly Senator Bryan. There 
is no rule in the U.S. Senate in morning business, in any sense, that 
there be an accommodation on both sides. That is not morning business. 
It is the first one present and the first one seeking recognition. 
Really, I hope there will not be any acrimony with regard to that 
decision.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. Coats). Is there objection to the request? 
If not, it is so ordered. The time is extended for 20 minutes. The 
Senator from Nevada still has the floor.
  Mr. BRYAN. I thank the Chair.
