                            ORDER FOR RECESS

  Mr. KYL. Madam President, if there is no further business to come 
before the Senate, I ask unanimous consent that the Senate stand in 
recess under the previous order, following the remarks of Senators 
Conrad, Kennedy, and Nickles.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  Several Senators addressed the Chair.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Oklahoma.
  Mr. NICKLES. Madam President, thank you very much.
  I say to my friend and colleague, we both have been here a long time. 
It is my intention to speak on campaign finance for probably 10 or 15 
minutes. Does my colleague want to make a few remarks? His patience is 
wearing about as thin as mine.
  Madam President, I will be happy to yield to my colleague a few 
minutes if that would accommodate his schedule.
  If the Senator from North Dakota is seeking a few minutes, I am happy 
to accommodate his schedule.
  Mr. CONRAD. I thank the Senator from Oklahoma. I will be very brief.
  Mr. NICKLES. I yield the floor.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. Byrd). The Senator from North Dakota is 
recognized.
