Mr. CAMPBELL

Mr. CAMPBELL. I suggest the absence of a quorum.

Mr. CAMPBELL. It is my understanding this amendment has been accepted by both sides of the aisle.

Mr. CAMPBELL. I know of no further debate.

Mr. CAMPBELL. Mr. President, I call for regular order with respect to amendment No. 3354, the DeWine amendment.

Mr. CAMPBELL. I further ask unanimous consent that amendments Nos. 3370 and 3371 be considered and accepted en bloc. This is the Snowe- Reid amendment.

Mr. CAMPBELL. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the order for the quorum call be rescinded.

Mr. CAMPBELL. I further tell Members, the majority side yields back all time.

Mr. CAMPBELL. Madam President, I suggest the absence of a quorum.

Mr. CAMPBELL. Madam President, I object.

Mr. CAMPBELL. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that reading of the amendment be dispensed with.

Mr. CAMPBELL. Mr. President, I send an amendment to the desk and ask for its immediate consideration.

Mr. CAMPBELL. This amendment is acceptable to both sides. I urge its adoption.

Mr. CAMPBELL. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that reading of the amendment be dispensed with.

Mr. CAMPBELL. Madam President, I send an amendment to the desk and ask for its immediate consideration.

Mr. CAMPBELL. Madam President, while we are waiting, we are making progress in reaching agreements on other amendments. Amendment No. 3368 (Purpose: To provide for the adjustment of status of certain Haitian nationals)

Mr. CAMPBELL. Mr. President, I might add this amendment is acceptable to both sides. It is a very, very important program. It is basically the drug czar's program. We know we have spent an awful lot of money on this program in the last few years, but clearly it is having an effect on reducing teenage drug use in particular. I just wanted to add my comments to those of the Senator from Utah that this is a good amendment. I urge the adoption of the amendment.

Mr. CAMPBELL. Mr. President, I suggest the absence of a quorum.

Mr. CAMPBELL. Mr. President, we got ahead of ourselves on the amendment of the Senator from Tennessee. I ask unanimous consent that the motion to reconsider the amendment be laid upon the table.

Mr. CAMPBELL. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the order for the quorum call be rescinded.

Mr. CAMPBELL. Mr. President, I suggest the absence of a quorum. We are in the process of getting some technical corrections on the amendment of the Senator from Michigan.

Mr. CAMPBELL. Mr. President, there is no opposition on the majority side to the Abraham amendment. With that, Mr. President, I voice my support for the amendment.

Mr. CAMPBELL. Thank you.

Mr. CAMPBELL. Twenty minutes equally divided; 10 minutes on each side.

Mr. CAMPBELL. The child labor issue is important to all of us. I point out something I mentioned awhile ago. I say to the Senator, we have 43 amendments yet to clear. I wonder if the Senator would agree to a time limit on the debate. I talked to Senator Thompson. He is agreeable to a 20-minute time debate equally divided on both sides. Would the Senator from Iowa also agree with that?

Mr. CAMPBELL. Mr. President, Senator DeWine has been patiently waiting for a while to make a statement and possibly offer an amendment. I ask unanimous consent at the conclusion of his comments, I be allowed to suggest the absence of a quorum at that time.
