ORDER OF PROCEDURE
Mr. CORKER. Mr. President, could I make an inquiry as to the time
remaining? I see Senator Hutchison is here.
The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. The Republican side has 8 minutes
27 seconds.
Mr. CORKER. I need about 4 minutes, but if the Senator from Texas
wishes to go first, that is fine.
Mrs. HUTCHISON. Then I will split the remaining time, unless--is
there any further time? What is the order of business after the 8
minutes?
The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. After the expiration of morning
business, the Senate will proceed to executive session.
Mr. CORKER. I understand we might extend, with permission, for 10
more minutes, is that correct?
The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. That is correct. If there is
unanimous consent, that is correct.
Mrs. HUTCHISON. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent to extend
morning business for 10 minutes, and that the added time be split
between Senator Corker and myself; and if a Member of the majority
comes forward, we will certainly agree to allow the equal time.
The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. Is there objection?
Without objection, it is so ordered.
Mrs. HUTCHISON. Mr. President, if there were 4 minutes and we added
10, I would have 9 minutes and Senator Corker would have 9 minutes?
The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. The Senator is correct.
Mrs. HUTCHISON. Mr. President, I thank the Senator from Tennessee.
