                           ORDER OF PROCEDURE

  Mr. STEVENS. So we are clear, now we will stay in a period of routine 
morning business, Madam President, under the previous unanimous-consent 
agreement until the leader decides to go through the closing procedure.
  But just to make certain, that is the order of the Senate now, that 
we are in morning business with Senators permitted to speak for up to 5 
minutes each?
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. That is correct.
  Mr. STEVENS. I suggest the absence of a quorum.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will call the roll.
  The assistant legislative clerk proceeded to call the roll.
  Mr. REID. Madam President, I ask unanimous consent that the order for 
the quorum call be rescinded.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  Mr. REID. Madam President, would you indicate what the pending 
business is.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senate is in morning business.
