                     EXTENSION OF MORNING BUSINESS

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, Senator Hatch has been courteous as always. 
He is slated to speak at 2:30 p.m. He said the time for morning 
business can be extended until 2:35. It is OK with him that we extend 
morning business until 2:35 with the time equally divided. I ask 
unanimous consent that be the case.
  The PRESIDENT pro tempore. Is there objection to extending the time 
for morning business until 2:30 p.m. as under the previous order with 
the time equally divided?
  Mr. REID. Mr. President, 2:35 p.m.
  The PRESIDENT pro tempore. Is there objection to extending morning 
business until 2:35 p.m.?
  Morning business is extended until 2:35 p.m.
  The Senator from Wyoming is recognized for 2 minutes 9 seconds.
  Mr. THOMAS. Under the new circumstances, perhaps I could have 5 
minutes.
  Mr. COCHRAN. I yield to the distinguished Senator 7\1/2\ minutes.
  The PRESIDENT pro tempore. The Senator is recognized for 7\1/2\ 
minutes.
