Reserving the right to object, I am not going to object, but you said 80 minutes. Who has the other--the reason I am asking is, I didn't know if I needed to yield time to the other side, which I prefer not to since you have your own time, right? That is fine with me. Mr. McCONNELL. Madam President, I modify that to designate 20 minutes under the control of Senator Inhofe. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection? Without objection, it is so ordered. Mr. McCONNELL. Let me say that hopefully the 80 minutes will not be used. Hopefully, much of it will be yielded back. A lot has already been said. The night is late, but if all the time is used, it is going to occur around 12:30 a.m. ____________________
