Mr. President, the managers of the bill wish to give opening statements on this important legislation. I ask unanimous consent that Senator Dodd be recognized to use whatever time he feels appropriate, that Senator Shelby then be recognized to use whatever time he feels appropriate, that Chairman Lincoln then be recognized to make a statement, and following that, Senator Chambliss, the ranking member of the Agriculture Committee, and then Senator Warner, a member of the Banking Committee, wishes to make a statement. I ask that be the order. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered. The Senator from Connecticut is recognized.
