                            MORNING BUSINESS

  Mr. DASCHLE. I ask unanimous consent that the Senate now enter into a 
period of morning business for 35 minutes.
  Ms. LANDRIEU. I reserve the right to object.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Louisiana.
  Ms. LANDRIEU. There is another matter we want to try to take care of 
at this point. I don't know if this is the proper time.
  Mr. DASCHLE. If I might say to my colleague, this is not the 
appropriate time, but we will certainly work with the Senator and find 
a time, perhaps before the end of the day today, where we can take up 
the legislation. We need to run a hotline to ensure that we can get a 
unanimous consent agreement to take the bill up. We will certainly do 
that and come back to the floor as soon as we have the assurances on 
both sides of the aisle that this bill can be agreed to.
  Ms. LANDRIEU. I remove my objection.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  The Senator from Oklahoma.
