                            MORNING BUSINESS

  Mr. DORGAN addressed the Chair.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from North Dakota.
  Mr. DORGAN. Mr. President, it is my understanding there is to be a 1-
hour morning business segment under the control of the minority leader; 
is that correct?
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Under the previous order, there will now be a 
period for the transaction of morning business not to extend beyond the 
hour of 12:30 p.m. with Senators permitted to speak for 5 minutes each.
  Mr. DORGAN. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent we begin the 1 
hour reserved for the minority leader.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  Mr. DORGAN. Mr. President, I yield as much time as he may need to the 
Senator from Illinois, Mr. Durbin.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator is recognized.
  Mr. DURBIN. I thank the Senator.
