                            MORNING BUSINESS

  Mr. LOTT. In order to continue working to find a way to handle these 
appropriation bills, particularly the underlying bill, the agriculture 
bill, and the Patients' Bill of Rights, I now ask that there be a 
period of morning business until 10:30 today, with the time equally 
divided in the usual form.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  Mr. LOTT. As always, we will notify Senators as to when votes are 
scheduled, and we will now have the opportunity for Senators who are on 
the floor and wish to speak to do so while we continue negotiations.
  I yield the floor.
  Mr. KENNEDY. Mr. President, as I understand, we are in morning 
business; is that correct?
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator is correct.
