                            MORNING BUSINESS

  Mr. REID. Madam President, I would say to my friend from Alabama, we 
are trying to work something out for votes this afternoon, and we are 
in the process of doing that. I think it would be appropriate that 
until 1 o'clock we be in a period of morning business, with Senators 
allowed to speak for up to 10 minutes each during that period of time. 
I want to hopefully come back with an arrangement to move forward on 
the legislation.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection?
  Without objection, it is so ordered.
  The Senator from Alabama.
  Mr. SESSIONS. Madam President, I ask unanimous consent to speak in 
morning business and be notified in 5 minutes.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.

  Mr. REID. Madam President, there is one thing I didn't do. I 
apologize to my friend for interrupting him and express my appreciation 
for his usual cooperation.
  Mr. SESSIONS. Madam President, I know the majority leader has many 
challenges, and he certainly is entitled to respect to make this kind 
of announcement.
