                  UNANIMOUS-CONSENT REQUEST--H.R. 2937

  Mr. LOTT. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent the Senate proceed 
to the immediate consideration of Calendar No. 380, H.R. 2937, relating 
to the White House Travel Office and former employee Billy Dale; 
further, that a substitute amendment which is at the desk be offered by 
Senator Hatch, that it be considered and agreed to, the bill be deemed 
read a third time and passed as amended, the motion to reconsider be 
laid upon the table.
  I note that I did try this yesterday. There was some problem with an 
objection to it because they indicated they had not seen Senator 
Hatch's amendment. They have now had it and had 24 hours to review it, 
so I renew my unanimous consent request.
  Mr. DASCHLE. Reserving the right to object, I find all these 
unanimous consent requests intriguing, given the eloquent comments made 
by the distinguished majority leader about how wonderful it would be to 
have regular order.
  This is not regular order. As I have indicated to the majority 
leader, we have amendments we would like to offer to this bill, and to 
several of the other pieces of legislation he is propounding today. So 
obviously we have to object.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Objection is heard.
