period of morning business for debate only until 5 p.m., with the time 
equally divided and controlled between the two leaders or their 
designees and with Senators permitted to speak therein for up to 10 
minutes each, and that the majority leader be recognized at 5 p.m.

  Mr. DURBIN. Madam President, I suggest the absence of a quorum and 
ask that the time that is consumed under the quorum call be equally 
divided between the Democrats and Republicans, and all subsequent 
quorum calls be equally divided between the two parties.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  The clerk will call the roll.
