                     EXTENSION OF MORNING BUSINESS

  Mr. REID. Madam President, I have been meeting with Senator Schumer, 
Senator Dodd, and others. There is some hope we can resolve this 
vexatious issue that has been so troublesome on this legislation. We 
are in the process of trying to work this out now. Senator Dodd has 
been conferring with members of the minority all day in hopes that 
something can be resolved.
  I ask unanimous consent that morning business be extended until the 
hour of 4 p.m. today.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  Mr. REID. I suggest the absence of a quorum.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will call the roll.
  The assistant legislative clerk proceeded to call the roll.
  Mr. REID. Madam President, I ask unanimous consent that the order for 
the quorum call be rescinded.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
