                           Order of Business

  Mr. FRIST. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent there now be a 
period of morning business until 12 noon with the time equally divided 
between the two leaders or their designees, the time count under rule 
XXII, and the following Senators be recognized in the following order: 
Senator Byrd, for up to 20 minutes; Senator Santorum, for up to 20 
minutes; Senator Feinstein, 15 minutes; Senator DeMint, for up to 10 
minutes; and 20 minutes under the control of Senator Frist.
  Ms. LANDRIEU. Reserving the right to object, could I ask the 
distinguished majority leader if he could add me to the list as the 
last person for 10 minutes?
  Mr. FRIST. Mr. President, I will modify the unanimous consent to 
Senators Byrd, 20 minutes; Santorum, 20 minutes; Feinstein, 15 minutes; 
DeMint, 10 minutes; 20 minutes, Enzi, not Frist.
  I am going back to my original unanimous consent request because I 
have too many Members wanting to talk. What we are doing, just for the 
information of our colleagues, is to lay out just morning business. We 
might even be able to extend morning business until the Democratic 
leader and I plan out the remainder of the day.
  Now, as soon as I do the unanimous consent, we have a lot of Members 
who want to talk. We will not cut anyone off, but Members have been 
waiting--including Senator Byrd--since last night, and I want to be 
able to recognize them.
  Ms. LANDRIEU. I do object, I want to be cooperative.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The objection is heard.
  Mr. FRIST. Mr. President, I suggest the absence of a quorum.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will call the roll.
  The assistant legislative clerk proceeded to call the roll.
  Mr. FRIST. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the order for 
the quorum call be rescinded.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
