                           ORDER OF PROCEDURE

  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Vermont.
  Mr. LEAHY. Madam President, I also see my friend from Kentucky. I 
want to go back to the bill.
  Mr. McCONNELL. I say to the Senator from Vermont, I am looking at 10 
max, probably less.
  Mr. LEAHY. I am wondering, I know the distinguished Senator from 
Kentucky can say more in less time than most people I know, and 
brilliantly. Could he perhaps say it in 5 minutes?
  Mr. McCONNELL. If I could beg the indulgence of the Senator from 
Vermont, this is a speech I have hoped to make on homeland security for 
some time now. We are only talking about 10 minutes. I would appreciate 
the opportunity to make the statement.
  Mr. LEAHY. Madam President, I am trying to be helpful. I ask 
unanimous consent that the Senator from Kentucky be recognized for 10 
minutes and then the floor revert to the senior Senator from Vermont.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
