                            MORNING BUSINESS

  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. Under the previous order, there 
will now be a period of morning business for 1 hour, with Senators 
permitted to speak therein for up to 10 minutes each, with the time 
equally divided and controlled between the two leaders or their 
designees, with the majority controlling the first half and the 
Republicans controlling the final half.
  Mr. REID. Mr. President, I suggest the absence of a quorum and ask 
unanimous consent that our time for morning business not start until 
the quorum is called off.
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. Without objection, it is so 
ordered.
  The clerk will call the roll.
  The assistant legislative clerk proceeded to call the roll.
  Mr. BROWN. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the order for 
the quorum call be rescinded.
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. Without objection, it is so 
ordered.
