                                 RECESS

  Mr. INHOFE. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the Senate 
stand in recess until the hour of 11:30, at which time there will be a 
period of morning business not to exceed 1 hour equally divided.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection?
  Mr. DORGAN. Mr. President, reserving the right to object, and I shall 
not object, my understanding is there is a conference occurring on the 
other side that the two Members of the majority party in the Chamber 
wish to attend. We want to allow that to happen.
  I point out, under my reservation, it is my hope that when we 
reconvene with the hour of morning business, whatever transpires beyond 
that will be an agenda that allows Members on the floor of the Senate 
to come and discuss the issues they want to discuss. I will not object 
with that caveat.
  Mr. REID. Mr. President, reserving the right to object, I ask the 
Senator from Oklahoma to amend the unanimous consent request to allow 
the Senator from Minnesota, Mr. Wellstone, to have 10 minutes during 
our block of time.
  Mr. INHOFE. Before amending my request, I ask the Chair, would the 
Senator from Minnesota be entitled to 10 minutes of the half hour that 
they already have under my request?
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Only if he were recognized.
  Mr. INHOFE. I so amend.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  Thereupon, the Senate, at 10:58 a.m., recessed until 11:30 a.m.; 
whereupon, the Senate reassembled when called to order by the Presiding 
Officer (Mr. Hutchinson).
