                            MORNING BUSINESS

  Mr. REID. Madam President, we are waiting for the legislative counsel 
to bring us the legislation we are going to be dealing with, so I think 
it would be appropriate that we be in a period of morning business 
until 10 of 4 and that Senators be allowed to speak for up to 10 
minutes each for the next however many minutes it is, and that at 10 to 
the hour I be recognized. I ask unanimous consent that be the order.
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. Without objection, it is so 
ordered.
  Mr. REID. Madam President, 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. SALAZAR. Madam 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for the quorum call be rescinded.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.
  Mr. SALAZAR. Madam President, I ask that I be recognized for up to 10 
minutes.
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. The Senator from Colorado.
