                            MORNING BUSINESS

  Mrs. MURRAY. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that there now be 
a period of morning business with Senators permitted to speak for up to 
10 minutes each.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection?
  Mr. CONRAD. Reserving the right to object, I ask that after Senator 
Dodd completes his remarks, that it be possible for me to address the 
Senate for a period not to exceed 30 minutes. I make the request to 
respond to an attack that was made on me by Mr. Lindsey, the 
President's chief economic adviser.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Does the Senator from Washington so amend her 
request?
  Mrs. MURRAY. I amend my request.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  The Senator from Connecticut.
