                            MORNING BUSINESS

  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Under the previous order, there will now be a 
period for the transaction of morning business, with Senators permitted 
to speak for up to 5 minutes each.
  Under the previous order, the time until 2 p.m. shall be under the 
control of the Senator from Illinois, Mr. Durbin, or his designee.
  The Senator from North Dakota.
  Mr. DORGAN. Mr. President, it is my intention to seek recognition for 
the purpose of making a presentation. My understanding is Senator Byrd 
has a presentation. I will defer my presentation so that the 
distinguished Senator from West Virginia can proceed. I ask unanimous 
consent that I be recognized following the presentation of the Senator 
from West Virginia.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered. The 
Senator from West Virginia.
  Mr. BYRD. Mr. President, I thank my friend, the very distinguished 
junior Senator from North Dakota, but he is the dean of the delegation. 
He served in the House several years.
