                            MORNING BUSINESS

  The PRESIDENT pro tempore. Under the previous order, there is now a 
time for morning business not to exceed 30 minutes, with Senators 
permitted to speak therein, the first 15 minutes under the control of 
the Democratic leader or his designee, the second 15 minutes under the 
control of the majority leader or his designee.
  Who seeks recognition?
  Mr. BENNETT. Mr. President, I suggest the absence of a quorum.
  The PRESIDENT pro tempore. The clerk will call the roll.
  The legislative clerk proceeded to call the roll.
  Mr. SESSIONS. I ask unanimous consent that the order for the quorum 
call be rescinded.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. Sununu). Without objection, it is so 
ordered.
  Mr. SESSIONS. I believe my colleagues on the other side are not going 
to use any of their morning business time that is remaining. A minute 
or less remains. I ask unanimous consent that I be able to commence my 
remarks at this time.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection? Without objection, the 
Senator is recognized in morning business.
