                       UNANIMOUS-CONSENT REQUEST

  Mr. MITCHELL. Mr. President, one of the measures which I believe is 
of importance, and which the Senate should address, is legislation 
designated as H.R. 4822, an act to make certain laws applicable to the 
legislative branch of the Federal Government. This is the so-called 
congressional compliance legislation--legislation which would subject 
Congress to compliance with those laws that are applicable to others.
  It was reported by the Committee on Governmental Affairs. I had 
earlier today notified the distinguished Republican leader and all of 
my colleagues of my intention at this time to seek consent to proceed 
to that legislation.
  Accordingly, I now ask unanimous consent that the Senate proceed to 
the consideration of Calendar Order No. 710, H.R. 4822, an act to make 
certain laws applicable to the legislative branch of the Federal 
Government.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection?
  Mr. LOTT. Mr. President, I object on behalf of another member on this 
side of the aisle.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Objection is heard.
  Mr. MITCHELL. Mr. President, I regret the objection and will comment 
on it at a later time.
