                           ORDER OF BUSINESS

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, I want the Record spread with this: I have 
told a number of my colleagues who have some misgivings about this 
legislation that there are no tricks being done. We are just trying to 
move this legislation along as quickly as we can. If anyone has a 
problem--as my friend just had--if we can do that, we can always change 
the process. I am happy to do that. So we are now in a period of 
morning business with the time controlled by Senator Kennedy and 
Senator Specter.
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. The Senator from Pennsylvania.
  Mr. SPECTER. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent--if I may have 
the attention of the distinguished majority leader--that of the time 
allocated to this side of the aisle, that 15 minutes be allocated to 
Senator Hutchison.
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. Without objection, it is so 
ordered.
  The Senator from Massachusetts.
  Mr. KENNEDY. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that 15 minutes 
of our time be allocated to the Senator from Virginia, Mr. Webb.
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. Without objection, it is so 
ordered.
