                       THE TAX RELIEF ACT OF 2005

  Mr. GRASSLEY. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the Senate 
begin consideration of S. 2020, the tax reconciliation bill.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection?
  Without objection, it is so ordered.
  The clerk will report the bill by title.
  The legislative clerk read as follows:

       A bill (S. 2020) to provide for reconciliation pursuant to 
     section 202(b) of the concurrent resolution on the budget for 
     fiscal year 2006.

  Mr. GRASSLEY. Mr. President, before Senator Baucus and I give our 
opening statements, I yield 5 minutes to the Senator from South 
Carolina for a statement on another subject, and then I presume the 
Senator from New York wants to follow him for 5 minutes. So there will 
be 10 minutes before we start this bill, but the 10 minutes is off the 
20 hours allotted to this bill.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from South Carolina is recognized.
