                            MORNING BUSINESS

  Mr. SPECTER. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that there now be 
a period for the transaction of morning business, with Senators 
permitted to speak for up to 10 minutes each.
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. Without objection, it is so 
ordered.
  Mr. SPECTER. I say, this is a license for Senators not to bring 
amendments to the floor on this bill, but this license is short lived. 
It is not going to last too long.
  I yield the floor. I suggest the absence of a quorum.
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. The clerk will call the roll.
  The assistant legislative clerk proceeded to call the roll.
  Mr. GRASSLEY. 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for the quorum call be rescinded.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.
