                            MORNING BUSINESS

  The PRESIDING OFFICER. There will now be a period for the transaction 
of the morning business, not to exceed the hour of 2 p.m., with 
Senators permitted to speak therein for up to 10 minutes.
  Mr. LEAHY. Will the Senator yield for a unanimous consent request? I 
will be very brief.
  Mr. GREGG. Yes, I yield to the Senator from Vermont.
  Mr. LEAHY. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that I might be 
recognized for 10 minutes following the distinguished Senator from New 
Hampshire.
  Mr. GREGG. Mr. President, reserving the right to object. I ask to 
modify that by allowing Senator Helms to speak for a period of 3 
minutes prior to my speaking.
  Mr. LEAHY. I certainly have no objection to that, Mr. President. I 
see the distinguished Chairman on the floor. After the distinguished 
Senator from North Carolina and the distinguished Senator from New 
Hampshire, I ask unanimous consent to be recognized.

  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  The Senator from North Carolina is recognized for 3 minutes.
