                     EXTENSION OF MORNING BUSINESS

  Mr. JEFFORDS. Mr. President, I believe at this time we have no 
further business that is immediately available. I suggest we ask 
unanimous consent to set the vote for 2:15 and that the Senate be in 
morning business until such time.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection?
  Without objection, it is so ordered.
  Mr. JEFFORDS. Mr. President, I suggest the absence of a quorum.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will call the roll.
  The bill clerk proceeded to call the roll.
  Mr. JEFFORDS. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the order 
for the quorum call be rescinded.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  Mr. KENNEDY addressed the Chair.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Massachusetts.
  Mr. KENNEDY. Mr. President, I ask consent to proceed in morning 
business.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator may proceed.
