What I would like to do now, in sort of a chess clock style, is take 10 minutes, with unanimous consent, to be equally divided between me and the Senator from Delaware on the subject of the balanced budget amendment. The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. Whitehouse). Without objection, it is so ordered. For 10 minutes, the Senator from Illinois and the Senator from Delaware may engage in a colloquy. The Parliamentarian will keep track of the time of each, to the best of our capability.
