                            MORNING BUSINESS

  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Under the previous order, there shall now be a 
period for the transaction of morning business not to extend beyond the 
hour of 12 noon, with Senators permitted to speak therein for up to 5 
minutes each.
  Under the previous order, the time until 11:30 a.m. shall be under 
the control of the Senator from Kansas, Mr. Roberts, and the Senator 
from Georgia, Mr. Cleland.
  The Senator from Nevada is recognized.
  Mr. REID. 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. ROBERTS. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the order 
for the quorum call be rescinded.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  Mr. ROBERTS. Mr. President, it is my understanding that Senator 
Cleland and I have 2 hours reserved under the previous order in morning 
business. Is that correct?
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senate is correct. Your time is reserved 
until 11:30 a.m.
