At the outset of the subtraction of the proportional time, the Senator from Rhode Island controlled 5 minutes 42 seconds; the Senators from Mississippi and Pennsylvania each controlled 5 minutes; approximately 4 minutes have been consumed, of which 2 will be charged against the Senator from Rhode Island and 1 each to the Senators from Pennsylvania and Mississippi. And the clock continues to run. The Senator from Rhode Island.
