                            MORNING BUSINESS

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, I now ask unanimous consent that we proceed 
to a period of morning business, with Senators permitted to speak for 
up to 10 minutes each.
  I would say, Mr. President, that we have made contact with the 
Republicans, and they tonight do not wish to have more debate on the 
START treaty. So that is why we are moving to morning business. People 
can talk about whatever they want for the rest of the evening. 
Tomorrow, I am going to move back to executive session to do the START 
treaty. I hope we can make progress on that tomorrow.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
