                     EXTENSION OF MORNING BUSINESS

  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The time for morning business has expired as 
of 3 o'clock. The Senator from Louisiana would need to get unanimous 
consent if she wishes to speak in morning business.

  Ms. LANDRIEU. Mr. President, I see the Senator from Mississippi is in 
the Chamber. I do not want to interrupt any scheduled business. I was 
scheduled to speak in morning business. I can take 5 minutes later, 
after the Senator from Mississippi is finished, if he would like to 
proceed. I do not mind waiting.
  Mr. COCHRAN. Mr. President, if the Senator will yield.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Mississippi.
  Mr. COCHRAN. Mr. President, it is my understanding the Senate was to 
return to the consideration of H.R. 2862, the Commerce-Justice-Science 
appropriations bill at 3 o'clock.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. That is the previous order. It would require 
unanimous consent to allow morning business to continue beyond 3 
o'clock.
  Mr. COCHRAN. Mr. President, I do not want to object to the Senator 
proceeding to discuss whatever she wants to discuss. I am happy for her 
to take whatever time she needs to talk about this issue that is of 
great concern to me, as well as to her.
  Ms. LANDRIEU. Mr. President, I thank the Senator from Mississippi. I 
ask unanimous consent for 5 minutes, and then we could proceed to the 
bill.
  Mr. COCHRAN. Mr. President, I have no objection to the Senator having 
5 minutes.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Louisiana is recognized for 5 
minutes in morning business.
  Ms. LANDRIEU. I thank the Presiding Officer.
