                            MORNING BUSINESS

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the Senate now 
proceed to a period for the transaction of morning business, with 
Senators permitted to speak therein for up to 10 minutes each.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  Mr. REID. Mr. President, it is my understanding the Senator from 
South Dakota, Mr. Thune, wishes to be recognized. Is the Senator going 
to use the full 10 minutes? He is entitled to it.
  Mr. THUNE. Mr. President, I shouldn't take that long. I guess maybe 7 
minutes.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from South Dakota.
