  Mr. McCONNELL. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that there now 
be a period for morning business with Members to speak therein for up 
to 10 minutes each, and the time be considered charged against the 90 
minutes provided under the unanimous consent agreement previously 
adopted. This period will run approximately an hour, while the 
negotiators work on a potential compromise between the Feinstein and 
Thompson amendments. We will reserve the last 30 minutes of the 90 
minutes for debate on a compromise, if one develops.
  Mr. DODD. Mr. President, reserving the right to object, that 30 
minutes is to be equally divided between the two sides.
  Mr. McCONNELL. Yes.
