                           ORDER OF PROCEDURE

  Mr. EXON. Mr. President, before I yield the floor, I will simply 
advise the Senate that we were ready to take up a bill that came out of 
the Justice Department, and I think through misunderstanding it was 
temporarily delayed. I simply say that the previous matter before the 
Senate that was temporarily set aside has now been cleared for action--
the pipeline safety bill, with amendments. As the manager on this side 
on that bill, I am prepared to move ahead, if that is the will of the 
majority.
  I thank the Chair.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Chair in his capacity as a Senator from 
Missouri suggests the absence of a quorum.
  The clerk will call the roll.
  The legislative clerk proceeded to call the roll.
  Mr. EXON. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the order for 
the quorum call be rescinded.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
