The Senate resumed the consideration of the motion of the Senator from Montana [Mr. MANSFIELD] to proceed to the consideration of the joint resolution <S.J. Res. 29) providing for the establishing of the former dwelling house of Alexander Hamilton as a national monument.

Mr. ERVIN. Madam President, I ask unanimous consent that at this time I may be permitted to yield to the able and distinguished senior Senator from Texas [Mr. YARBOROUGH], Without losing my right to the floor and without having the remarks heretofore made by me or the remarks hereafter to be made · · by · me counted as anything other than one speech by me.

The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection--

Mr. McGEE. Madam President, reserving the right to object, let me ask the Senator from Texas how long he expects to speak.

Mr. YARBOROUGH . . Not longer than 20 minutes, and perhaps not that long. Furthermore, I am willing to have the remarks I wish to make at this time counted as a speech by me, · and I would not want them to be counted as a speech by the Senator from North Carolina [Mr. ERVIN], who has most generously agreed to yield for this purpose to me, provided such yielding by him does not result in having him charged with making more than one speech on this subject.

Mr. McGEE. Then I shall not object.

The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection? Without objection, it is so ordered.
