  The Senate continued with the consideration of the bill.
  Mr. DOMENICI. Mr. President, Senator Grassley wants to speak as in 
morning business. But before we do that, we would like to adopt the 
Coats amendment to this bill at this time.

  Mr. DOMENICI. Mr. President, we have no objection on our side to 
adopting the Coats amendment, and there is no objection on the 
Democratic side.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection to the amendment by the 
Senator from Indiana?
  Mr. COATS. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that Senator Robb 
be added as a cosponsor.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The question is on agreeing to the amendment.
  The amendment (No. 5092) was agreed to.
  Mr. DOMENICI. Mr. President, I move to reconsider the vote by which 
the amendment was agreed to.
  Mr. COATS. I move to lay that motion on the table.
  The motion to lay on the table was agreed to.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Iowa.
  Mr. DOMENICI. I ask unanimous consent that Senator Grassley be 
permitted to speak up to 10 minutes as in morning business.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  Mr. GRASSLEY. Mr. President, I do not think I will use all that time.
