                         ORDER FOR ADJOURNMENT

  Mr. FRIST. Mr. President, if there is no further business to come 
before the Senate, I ask unanimous consent that the Senate stand in 
adjournment under the previous order following the remarks of Senator 
Byrd for up to 60 minutes.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  The Senator from West Virginia.
  Mr. BYRD. Mr. President, I thank the distinguished majority leader 
for his courtesy in arranging for me to speak briefly. When I say 
``briefly,'' that means perhaps an hour.
  Mr. FRIST. If the Senator from West Virginia will yield.

[[Page 15652]]


  Mr. BYRD. Yes, I yield.
  Mr. FRIST. People are going to begin saying the same thing about me, 
that laughter coming as we are here on Friday afternoon. I say I am 
going to speak briefly, and I go on for 45 minutes. I have a feeling I 
am following in Senator Byrd's footsteps.
  Mr. BYRD. I thank the majority leader.
