                     EXTENSION OF MORNING BUSINESS

  Mr. KYL. Madam President, I ask unanimous consent that morning 
business be extended until 6 p.m., with the time equally divided 
between the two leaders or their designees.
  Mr. REID. Reserving the right to object, Madam President.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Nevada.
  Mr. REID. Madam President, I understand the leader wants to go out at 
around 6 o'clock tonight. As far as the Democratic time is concerned, I 
would like 25 minutes allotted to Senator Byrd, who wishes to speak 
now, but during the remainder of the time, without any specific 
designation as to when it starts, I would ask unanimous consent that 20 
minutes of our time be given to Senator Kennedy, 7\1/2\ minutes to 
Senator Schumer, and 7\1/2\ minutes to Senator Feinstein.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Does the Senator modify his request?
  Mr. KYL. I revise my unanimous consent request to incorporate what 
Senator Reid has just requested.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection to the modified request?
  Without objection, it is so ordered.
  Mr. KYL. I thank the Chair.
  Mr. REID. I appreciate the courtesy of my friend from Arizona.
  Mr. BYRD. Madam President, has the able Senator from Arizona 
relinquished the floor?
  Mr. KYL. I have indeed.
  Mr. BYRD. I thank the Senator.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. Cornyn). The Senator from West Virginia.
