                            MORNING BUSINESS

  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Under the previous order, there will now be a 
period for the transaction of morning business not to extend beyond the 
hour of 10 a.m. with Senators permitted to speak therein for not to 
exceed 5 minutes each. Under the previous order, the Senator from 
Minnesota, Mr. Grams, is recognized to speak for up to 15 minutes.
  The Senator from Minnesota.
  Mr. REID. Mr. President, parliamentary inquiry.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Nevada.
  Mr. REID. It is my further understanding that under the unanimous 
consent agreement of last night the Senator from Wisconsin is to be 
recognized for 10 minutes and the Senator from Rhode Island is to be 
recognized for 5 minutes. Is that true?

  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator is correct.
  Mr. REED addressed the Chair.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Minnesota.
  Mr. REED. Further parliamentary inquiry. Would that carry us past the 
10 o'clock hour?
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senate then would go past the 10 o'clock 
hour.
  Mr. REED. I thank the Chair.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Minnesota.
