                           ORDER OF PROCEDURE

  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Under the previous order, the Senator from 
North Dakota is recognized for 15 minutes.
  Mr. McCONNELL. Will the Senator yield?
  Mrs. BOXER. Yes.
  Mr. McCONNELL. Does the Senator from North Dakota control the time?
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from California would have 5 
additional minutes after the Senator from North Dakota.
  Mr. McCONNELL. Mr. President, I am just trying to get in line here.
  Mrs. BOXER. Mr. President, can I say to my friend that Senator Durbin 
had taken 30 minutes in this part of the morning business hour. He has 
designated me to control that 30 minutes. As I understand it, I took 6 
minutes. We now have 15 minutes for Senator Dorgan and the remaining 
time by Senator Torricelli. That would complete this side's time. We 
have no problem with the Senator getting his time.
  Mr. McCONNELL. Mr. President, I am confused as to what I am inquiring 
about. The time is controlled by Senator Durbin until when?
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Twenty-three and a half minutes remain under 
the control of the Senator from California.
  Mr. McCONNELL. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that I be 
recognized at the end of the time controlled by Senator Durbin.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
