  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. Under the previous order, there 
will now be a period for the transaction of morning business not to 
extend beyond the hour of 10 a.m., with Senators permitted to speak for 
up to 5 minutes each.
  Under the previous order, the time until 9:45 shall be under the 
control of the Senator from Illinois, Mr. Durbin, or his designee.
  The Senator from North Dakota.
  Mr. CONRAD. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent the time be 
extended so both sides have their full morning business time.
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. The Senator's request is he be 
given 15 minutes, and the following 15 minutes for the Republicans. The 
time of Senator Hollings was to start at 10 a.m. and will start at 
approximately 10 after the hour.
  Mr. CONRAD. I will be happy to yield with the understanding I be 
recognized after the Senator from Pennsylvania takes care of the 
business he has brought to the floor.
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. Is there objection to the request 
of the Senator from North Dakota? Hearing none, that will be the order.
  The Senator from Pennsylvania.
