               RECOGNITION OF THE ACTING MINORITY LEADER

  The PRESIDENT pro tempore. The Senator from Nevada is recognized.
  Mr. REID. Mr. President, we have conferred with floor staff. Senator 
Mikulski is in the Chamber, and she has a statement regarding 
prescription drugs. I ask unanimous consent that she have an 
opportunity to respond to the statement of the Senator from Tennessee 
and that she be given 7\1/2\ minutes to do that. Following that, it is 
my understanding the leader is looking to vote around 11 o'clock on the 
Dorgan amendment and that the time after the statement by Senator 
Mikulski will basically be evenly divided. I

am not asking unanimous consent. The time will basically be divided 
between the Senator from North Dakota and whoever opposes his 
amendment.
  My unanimous consent request at this time is that Senator Mikulski be 
recognized for 7\1/2\ minutes as in morning business.
  The PRESIDENT pro tempore. Without objection, it is so ordered. The 
Senator from Maryland.
