  Mr. DOMENICI. Mr. Majority Leader, might I ask a question? Did you 
get some time for the Senator from New Mexico?
  Mr. LOTT. We do have time equally divided between the chairman, the 
Senator from New Mexico, and the ranking member.
  Mr. DOMENICI. I will yield back my time to the Chair. I have a 
statement I will submit shortly.
  Mr. LOTT. All right. We still have 10 minutes under the control of 
Senator McCain. We will call and see if he wants to take advantage of 
that.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  Mr. LOTT. We will come back to that later.
