                           ORDER OF PROCEDURE

  Mr. STEVENS. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that I be 
recognized to speak in morning business, to be followed by Senator 
Murkowski, provided that following our remarks, the Democratic time be 
extended by an equal amount of time that we use.
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. Is there objection?
  The Senator from Nevada.
  Mr. REID. Mr. President, I would just like to say to my Democratic 
colleagues, the reason we are doing this is because this involves the 
death of a police officer, and they have to leave very soon. So I 
apologize to my friend. We were supposed to get the first half hour of 
morning business, but we understand and acknowledge the tragedy in the 
State of Alaska.
  Mr. President, on behalf of Senator Daschle, I extend 5 minutes of 
our morning business time to Senator Kohl, 15 minutes to Senator 
Corzine, and 10 minutes to Senator Boxer.
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. Without objection, it is so 
ordered.

  The Senator from Alaska.
  Mr. STEVENS. Mr. President, I thank the distinguished deputy minority 
leader. The family of our lost officer is in attendance, and I did wish 
to speak at this time.
