  Mr. JEFFORDS. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that when the 
Senate reconvenes at 2:15 there be an hour for debate only on the FDA 
bill to be equally divided between Senators Jeffords and Kennedy, and 
immediately following that hour the Senate will resume the Interior 
appropriations bill.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection?
  Mr. ASHCROFT. Reserving the right to object, I suggest the absence of 
a quorum.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will call the roll.
  The bill clerk proceeded to call the roll.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. Ashcroft). The Chair, in his capacity as a 
Senator from the State of Missouri, asks unanimous consent that the 
order for the quorum call be rescinded.
  Without objection, it is so ordered.
  For the pending request for unanimous consent, no objection being 
heard, without objection, it is so ordered.
