                            MORNING BUSINESS

  Mr. COCHRAN. Mr. President, for the information of Senators, as I 
understand it, the leader has announced that we would go next to the 
Agriculture appropriations bill. I further understand that leadership 
is discussing an agreement under which we will proceed to consider that 
bill.
  Pending the completion of that discussion, I ask unanimous consent 
that the Senate now go into a period of morning business with Senators 
permitted to speak therein for up to 15 minutes each.
