                            MORNING BUSINESS

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, the chairman of the Finance Committee will 
not be here until about 1:30. We should not start the bill until he 
arrives. I have spoken to Senator Baucus. He agrees. I think until then 
perhaps we should be in a period of morning business until 1:30.
  Mr. FRIST. Mr. President, why don't we have morning business. I ask 
unanimous consent that there be a period of morning business with the 
time divided accordingly until 1:30 today.
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. Is there objection? Without 
objection, it is so ordered.
  Mr. REID. Mr. President, I suggest the absence of a quorum.
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. The clerk will call the roll.
  The legislative clerk proceeded to call the roll.
  Mr. WYDEN. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the order for 
the quorum call be rescinded.
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. Without objection, it is so 
ordered.
