                            MORNING BUSINESS

  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Under the previous order, the Senate will be 
in a period of morning business for 1 hour, with Senators permitted to 
speak therein for up to 10 minutes each, with the majority controlling 
the first 30 minutes and the Republicans controlling the second 30 
minutes.
  The Senator from Tennessee.
  Mr. ALEXANDER. Thank you, Mr. President. I believe it is correct that 
Senator Corker and I, before morning business begins, have a few 
minutes to reflect on Senator Baker.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. That understanding is correct.
  Mr. ALEXANDER. That is correct?
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senate is under morning business right 
now, but the Senator from Tennessee is recognized.
  Mr. ALEXANDER. Mr. President, I ask consent that before morning 
business begin that Senator Corker and I be permitted to reflect on 
Senator Baker.
  Mr. President, I ask consent that we have a few minutes to speak 
about Senator Baker before morning business begins.
  Mr. DURBIN. Mr. President, reserving the right to object--I am not 
going to object because we have an understanding, but I would like to 
have a similar amount of time to reflect on Senator Alan Dixon, who 
passed away over the weekend, after the Senators from Tennessee have 
paid homage to Senator Baker.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection.
  Mr. ALEXANDER. Thank you, Mr. President. I appreciate the courtesy of 
the Senator from Illinois.
