                            MORNING BUSINESS

  Mr. BROWNBACK. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that there now 
be a period for morning business with Senators permitted to speak 
therein for up to 10 minutes each.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  Mr. REID. Mr. President, a number of people wish to speak, 
Republicans and Democrats. I wonder if we can have a little order 
around here. I know Senator Durbin wants to speak for up to half an 
hour, and Senator Harkin wishes to speak. On our side, I wonder if we 
can get people queued in, and if Republicans want to come after we 
speak, that is fine.
  How long does the Senator from Iowa need?
  Mr. HARKIN. I need 5 minutes.
  Mr. REID. On our side, I ask unanimous consent that Senator Harkin be 
recognized for 5 minutes, that Senator Durbin be recognized for 30 
minutes, and that the majority may have someone between Senators Harkin 
and Durbin, and we will balance out the time thereafter.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection?
  Without objection, it is so ordered.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Iowa is recognized for 5 
minutes.
