  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  Mr. MURKOWSKI. I thank the Chair.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Nevada is recognized.
  Mr. REID. Mr. President, I indicated to the majority leader I would 
indicate when I came back how many speakers we have. Senator Dodd 
indicated he wants to speak for half an hour. Senator Harkin will speak 
for 15 minutes. The Democratic leader, Senator Daschle, wishes to speak 
for 15 or 20 minutes. Those are the only speakers we have had request 
time on this side. If there are any others, I will be happy to inform 
the Chair.
  Mr. MURKOWSKI. Mr. President, in view of the request of the minority, 
I ask unanimous consent that following the 15 minutes allotted to 
Senator Lott or his designee, there be an additional period for morning 
business until 4:15, with the time equally divided between the two 
leaders or their designees.
  Mr. REID. Reserving the right to object, I just add to that unanimous 
consent request that during that period of time, Senator Dodd be 
recognized for up to 30 minutes, and the Democratic leader for up to 20 
minutes.
  Mr. MURKOWSKI. It is my understanding that will be off of their time.
  Mr. REID. Yes.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.

interested Senators.

  Mr. BOND. Mr. President, I request 5 minutes of the time the majority 
leader has reserved.
  Mr. MURKOWSKI. Mr. President, on behalf of the majority leader, I 
yield 5 minutes to the Senator from Missouri.
