Mr. MUSKIE. Mr. President, before I yield time, may I alert the Senators that the Exon amendment is to the Hollings amendment and all time on the Hollings amendment has expired. The time on the bill is so tight, considering other amendments, that I do not feel I should yield anything but very minimal time on the bill.
On the Exon amendment, we have how much time, may I ask?
The PRESIDING OFFICER. One hour equally divided. The Senator now has 26 minutes and Senator EXON has 20 minutes and 20 seconds.
Mr. MUSKIE. I do not expect to use more than a minute or two of the 22 available to me on the Exon amendment, so I am willing to yield on that to the extent that it covers the ground.
Senator HATCH asked for 5 minutes and I shall yield to him. Senator HOLLINGS wants 5 minutes. I shall yield to him. And 2 minutes to Senator STENNIS. That will leave me 10 minutes on the Exon amendment.
Mr. HOLLINGS. Could we get the yeas and nays on all these amendments? I take it Mr. EXON wants the yeas and nays. I would like to have the yeas and nays.
Mr. MUSKIE. I ask for the yeas and nays on the Exon amendment, Mr. President.
The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there a sufficient second? There is a sufficient second.
The yeas and nays were ordered.
Mr. MUSKIE. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that it be in order to order the yeas and nays on the Hollings amendment.
The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is in order to order the yeas and nays.
Mr. MUSKIE. I ask for the yeas and nays.
The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there a sufficient second? There is a sufficient second.
The yeas and nays were ordered.
Mr. HOLLINGS. That is on both Hollings amendments?
Mr. MUSKIE. It has now been ordered on both.
I yield now to the distinguished Senator from Utah.
