                            MORNING BUSINESS

  Mr. CRAIG. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the Senate now 
be in a period of morning business until 10 a.m. and the time be 
divided in the usual form.
  Mr. REID. Reserving the right to object, if the CR gets here sooner 
than that, would the Senator agree that we should begin the vote before 
10, because there are people who have come to me indicating they have 
schedules to meet. I am sure he has the same on his side.
  Mr. CRAIG. I see no objection to that. I think we are here purely 
dependent on the House's ability to act as quickly as they can. When it 
arrives at the desk, my guess is there is going to be a large number on 
our side who would wish the same consideration.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  Mr. CRAIG. Mr. President, I suggest the absence of a quorum.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will call the roll.
  The legislative clerk proceeded to call the roll.
  Mr. BENNETT. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the order 
for the quorum call be rescinded.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
