                    SUPPORT FOR CALLING THE BANKROLL

  Mr. WELLSTONE. Mr. President, I would be proud, I say to my 
colleague, Senator Feingold, to be his first recruit in calling the 
bankroll. I think it is extremely important. I also want to say, being 
a Senator from the Midwest, that we talk about the fighting La 
Follette, and we have a fighting Russ Feingold from the State of 
Wisconsin, who I think is the Bob La Follette of this Senate. I thank 
him for his focus on what I believe is a core issue.
  Mr. President, how much time do we have on our side in morning 
business?
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Four minutes.
  Mr. WELLSTONE. Might I ask, so that I know, if I suggest the absence 
of a quorum, does that time burn off on our part?
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator has to get unanimous consent that 
the quorum call not be counted against you.
