                   TRIBUTE TO SENATOR FRANK MURKOWSKI

  Mr. SIMON. Mr. President, I see my distinguished colleague from 
Alaska on the floor. Let me just add, I inserted something in the 
Record not too long ago. Senator Murkowski has been one of the leaders 
in trying to fashion responsible policies toward North Korea. The one 
area in the world where you have more troops facing each other, with 
virtually no contact between the two sides in terms of communication, 
is North Korea and South Korea. Senator Murkowski, who does not get any 
votes in Alaska by providing leadership in this area, has rendered a 
service to this Nation by trying to guide us in a sensible direction. 
Mr. President, I yield the floor.
  Mr. MURKOWSKI addressed the Chair.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Chair recognizes the Senator from Alaska.
  Mr. MURKOWSKI. Mr. President, I wonder if I might ask, are we under a 
5-minute time limit for morning business?
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Chair advises the Senator from Alaska we 
are in a period for morning business with each Senator's remarks 
limited to 5 minutes.
  Mr. MURKOWSKI. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that I may be 
allowed to speak in morning business for 10 minutes.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  Mr. MURKOWSKI. I thank the Chair.
