                         PRIVILEGE OF THE FLOOR

  Mr. WELLSTONE. Mr. President, I know my colleague from Iowa wants to 
speak and my colleague from Arkansas. Could I just for a moment ask 
unanimous consent that an intern, Mara Davis, be allowed to be in the 
Chamber today.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  Mr. BUMPERS addressed the Chair.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Arkansas.
  Mr. BUMPERS. Mr. President, what is the parliamentary situation?
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senate has an order to go to a bill at 
11:30.
  Mr. BUMPERS. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that I be 
permitted--I know the Senator from Ohio wants to introduce a bill, and 
I do not want to delay that--but I ask unanimous consent that I be 
permitted to proceed for 5 minutes in morning business.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
