                            MORNING BUSINESS

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, under the previous order, we go into a 
quorum call and, following that, Senator Lieberman will be recognized. 
I ask unanimous consent that the Senate now proceed to a period of 
morning business until 3 p.m. today, and, following the morning 
business being terminated, the Senator from Connecticut, Mr. Lieberman, 
the manager of the bill, be recognized.
  There is a lot of work going on regarding homeland security and 
different ways of moving forward. Senator Lieberman and his staff and 
Senator Thompson and his staff and the two leaders have been working.
  I also note that at 2 p.m. there is a gold medal ceremony in the 
Capitol Rotunda for General Shelton. I think the time would be well 
spent if we were not working directly on the bill so people would not 
have to worry about procedure.
  I ask unanimous consent we go into morning business until 3 p.m., and 
at 3 p.m. Senator Lieberman be recognized, and during that period of 
morning business the majority and minority have equal time of 10-minute 
limitations.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  Mr. REID. I suggest the absence of a quorum.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will call the roll.
  The legislative clerk proceeded to call the roll.
  Mr. WARNER. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent the order for the 
quorum call be rescinded.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
