                           ORDER OF BUSINESS

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, I appreciate very much, first of all, the 
patience of the Presiding Officer. We are sorry that in your first few 
hours in the Senate you have had to spend so much time here when we 
have not been doing a lot, but it is necessary that you are here, and 
we appreciate very much your patience, as I have indicated.
  Mr. President, it is my understanding that we are not in morning 
business. Is that right?
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. That is correct.
