                            MORNING BUSINESS

  Mr. INHOFE. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that there now be 
a period for the transaction of morning business, with Senators 
permitted to speak for up to 10 minutes each.
  Mr. CORZINE. Reserving the right to object.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. Coleman). The Senator from New Jersey.
  Mr. CORZINE. Mr. President, I wonder if the Senator from Oklahoma 
will allow for 20 minutes speaking as in morning business.
  Mr. INHOFE. Mr. President, I amend that to up to 20 minutes for the 
first speaker and 10 minutes thereafter.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  Mr. CORZINE. I thank the Chair.
  Mr. President, I, too, respect very much the challenges the chairman 
of the committee and the ranking member have been able to work through. 
I look forward to a good, healthy debate about some of the specifics. I 
think we are on the right track.
