                            MORNING BUSINESS

  Mr. LOTT. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the Senate 
proceed to a period for morning business for 90 minutes, equally 
divided in the usual form.
  Mr. DOMENICI. How much time?
  Mr. LOTT. Ninety minutes. I believe Senator Kennedy reserved the 
right to object.
  Mr. KENNEDY. I will not object. Mr. President, I will not object to 
that. I want to gain recognition to explain my position.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  Mr. LOTT. We are now in a period for morning business.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. We are in a period for morning business.
  Mr. LOTT. I know Senator Kennedy seeks recognition at this time to 
explain his position. I will stay in the Chamber and will be glad to 
respond to questions he wants to ask.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Massachusetts.
