                            MORNING BUSINESS

  Mr. FRIST. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that there now be a 
period of morning business with Senators permitted to speak for up to 
10 minutes each.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  Mr. FRIST. Mr. President, we will be finishing tonight. I say that 
because we will be leaving the floor tonight, but there is a lot of 
work going on here in the Nation's Capital as we try to bring to 
closure the Nation's business for this first session. So a lot of work 
is going on--productive work.
  All of our colleagues are wondering when they will be able to leave 
and go back to their States. The Democratic leader and I were talking 
about that. As soon as we have some schedule, we will let our 
colleagues know.
  I will have more to say on the schedule shortly.
