                           ORDER OF BUSINESS

  Mrs. BOXER. Mr. President, I know Senator Collins would like to 
speak, so the way I would recommend we go is 5 minutes to Senator 
Manchin, 15 minutes for me, and how many minutes for the Senator from 
Maine?
  Ms. COLLINS. I thank the Senator from California. This is not going 
to work for me, so I am going to return to my office. I understand this 
was unanticipated, and that is the way it goes sometimes.
  Mrs. BOXER. I am so sorry. This has been a contentious matter.
  So I would say to Senator Manchin, if you want to go first, then I 
will follow, and I am sure Senator Thune will have comments.
  Mr. THUNE. I will request, through the Chair, if the Senator from 
Maine is not going to speak, that I be allowed to speak at the 
conclusion of the remarks of the Senator from California and the 
Senator from West Virginia.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  The Senator from West Virginia.
  Mr. MANCHIN. Mr. President, I thank my colleague from California.
