MORNING BUSINESS
Mr. REID. Madam President, I have spoken to the Republican leader
fairly recently--it is all relative time, I guess. There will be no
more rollcall votes tonight.
I ask unanimous consent that the Senate proceed to a period for
morning business until 6:30 p.m. tonight, with Senators permitted to
speak for up to 10 minutes each. Senator Coburn is not on the floor,
but I understand he wanted to speak for more than 10 minutes. I ask
that Senator Coburn be recognized at 5:30 p.m. for 30 minutes.
Mrs. BOXER. Reserving the right to object, and I will not object, I
would like to get 20 minutes to speak following Senator Coburn.
Mr. REID. Sounds good to me.
The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
Mr. REID. The rest of the Senators will be limited to 10 minutes.
The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
Mr. REID. Madam President, I ask unanimous consent that at 6:30 p.m.,
I be recognized.
The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
Mr. LEVIN. Madam President, I suggest the absence of a quorum.
The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will call the roll.
The legislative clerk proceeded to call the roll.
Mr. MORAN. Madam President, I ask unanimous consent that the order
for the quorum call be rescinded.
The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
The Senator from Kansas.
