                          LEGISLATIVE SESSION

  Mr. STEVENS. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the Senate 
return to legislative session.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  The minority whip.
  Mr. REID. Mr. President, Senator Stevens had asked some time ago if 
we could move things along. The Senator from Iowa has agreed to allow 
the Senator from Minnesota, who has been waiting here a long time, to 
give a speech on a subject, I believe it is Iraq. And he originally 
wanted to speak for 20 minutes. I asked him if he would speak for 10, 
and he has graciously consented to do that. It is my understanding the 
Senator from Arizona wishes to speak.
  I ask unanimous consent that following the Senator from Minnesota 
speaking for 10 minutes, the Senator from Arizona be recognized for a 
period not to exceed--how much time?
  Mr. McCAIN. One hour.
  Mr. REID. One hour. I ask unanimous consent that be the order.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection?
  Mr. McCAIN. Actually, I object. I will not take a time agreement at 
this time. I will agree. I withdraw my objection.
  Mr. REID. I say, before the Chair enters that, if the Senator from 
Arizona needs more time, we will certainly arrange that.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection?
  Without objection, it is so ordered.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Minnesota.
  Mr. DAYTON. Mr. President, I thank my colleague from Nevada for this 
agreement. And I thank the distinguished senior Senator from Alaska, 
Mr. Stevens, and Senator McCain also for graciously granting me this 
opportunity.
