                           ORDER OF PROCEDURE

  Mr. SPECTER. Mr. President, we continue to await the arrival of 
Senators on the floor to present amendments. We have a very crowded 
schedule for the Senate with the FDA legislation and other 
appropriations matters to follow. So I urge my colleagues to come to 
the floor so we can continue to move the Labor, Health and Human 
Services bill along.
  In the absence of any other Senator on the floor, Mr. President, 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. DORGAN. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the order for 
the quorum call be rescinded.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. Roberts). Without objection, it is so 
ordered.
  Mr. DORGAN. I ask unanimous consent I be allowed to speak for 10 
minutes as in morning business.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
