  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. Under the previous order, the 
Senate will proceed to 60 minutes of debate with 30 minutes under the 
control of the Senator from Vermont, Mr. Leahy, and 30 minutes under

  The assistant minority leader.
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. The Senator from Kentucky.
  Mr. McCONNELL. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the time 
under my control be as in morning business.
  Mr. REID. Reserving the right to object.
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. The Senator from Nevada.
  Mr. REID. It is my understanding the Senator from Kentucky is going 
to use the half hour under the rule now available before the Senate on 
the Estrada cloture. He is going to use his time as in morning 
business; is that correct?
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. That is the request. The Senator 
from Kentucky.
  Mr. McCONNELL. I did not hear the assistant Democratic leader.
  Mr. REID. I just said the half hour that you are entitled to under 
the Estrada time for cloture, you are going to use that as in morning 
business?
  Mr. McCONNELL. I would say, Mr. President, that is correct.
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. Without objection, the Senator from 
Kentucky controls the time.
