                     EXTENSION OF MORNING BUSINESS

  Mr. DASCHLE. Madam President, it was my hope we could move directly 
now to the bill, given the 97-0 vote on the motion to proceed. As I 
understand it, there are still objections to go to the bill itself. I 
hope we can work through whatever objections there may be on the other 
side so we can get on the bill and begin offering amendments and coming 
to closure of this bill quickly. We have a lot of work. All of it is 
being held up now as a result of our inability to get that work done.
  In the interim, it would be my hope for those Senators who had come 
to the floor with the expectation they could speak as if in morning 
business on Senator Mike Mansfield and other matters, we accord 
Senators that opportunity. I ask for the next hour that the Senate 
stand as if in morning business to accommodate Senators who wish to 
speak in tributes to Senator Mansfield and other matters.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
