  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The majority leader.
  Mr. McCONNELL. Mr. President, I just cut off a Member of our own side 
because they didn't get here in time. That is to underscore that by 
popular demand, everybody wants these times to be kept, and that is 
what we intend to do.
  I ask unanimous consent that the votes in this series be 10 minutes 
in length.
