                            MORNING BUSINESS

  Mr. LOTT. I ask unanimous consent the Senate now proceed to a period 
of morning business, with Senators permitted to speak up to 10 minutes 
each.
  Mr. WARNER. Reserving the right to object, could that include, Mr. 
Leader, the ability of the Armed Services Committee to bring up a 
package of cleared amendments?
  Mr. LOTT. I believe it would.
  Mr. WARNER. Could I have that exception written into the 
distinguished leader's unanimous consent?
  Mr. LOTT. I don't believe it is necessary, but I amend my request to 
that effect.
  Mr. WARNER. I wish to advise you, Mr. Leader, working with your staff 
on this side, working with the Judiciary Committee, that is the only 
remaining item, together with Senator Roth and Senator Byrd, who are 
working on a matter which if we can resolve those two, I believe I can 
indicate to my distinguished leaders that we could get the unanimous 
consent.
  Mr. LOTT. Thank you very much. I yield the floor.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  The Senator from Montana
