                            MORNING BUSINESS

  Mr. REID. Madam President, I ask unanimous consent that the Senate 
now proceed to a period for morning business, with Senators allowed to 
speak for not to exceed 10 minutes each, and further, of course, this 
time, under the previous unanimous consent agreement, will be charged 
against the postcloture time that is now pending.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection?
  Mr. GRAMM. Madam President, reserving the right to object, may I ask 
a question?
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Texas.
  Mr. GRAMM. I would be perfectly happy to go to morning business, but 
I want to be assured that tonight we are not going to go back on the 
bill.
  Mr. REID. No. The only thing we are going to do is wrapup, and it 
will have no bearing whatsoever on the legislation.
  Mr. GRAMM. With that understanding, I have no objection.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
