                            MORNING BUSINESS

  Mr. LOTT. Mr. President, I ask that there now be a period for the 
transaction of morning business until the hour of 12:45 with Senators 
permitted to speak for up to 5 minutes each.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  Mr. LOTT. Mr. President, when the Senate resumes, the voting sequence 
will start at approximately 12:45. I urge all Senators to please be 
back in the Chamber in order to make the process as orderly as 
possible. This will give us a chance to get a bite to eat and for the 
staff to assess which one of these amendments we can accept or reject.
  I yield the floor.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Who seeks time?
  Mr. ABRAHAM addressed the Chair.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Michigan is recognized.
  Mr. ABRAHAM. Thank you, Mr. President.
