REQUEST TO APPOINT CONFEREES ON S. 1139, SMALL BUSINESS REAUTHORIZATION 
                              ACT OF 1997

  Mr. TALENT. Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent to take from the 
Speaker's table the Senate bill (S. 1139) to reauthorize the programs 
of the Small Business Administration, and for other purposes, with 
House amendments thereto, insist on the House amendments, and request a 
conference with the Senate thereon.
  I perhaps can anticipate the gentleman by saying that the ranking 
member of the Committee on Small Business not only does not object, but 
asked me to bring the motion at this time, and it has been cleared for 
a number of days with the minority.
  The Clerk read the title of the Senate bill.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the 
gentleman from Missouri?
  Mr. WISE. Reserving the right to object, Mr. Speaker, once again, 
there seems not to have been communication on this. I will have to 
object at this time.
  I object, Mr. Speaker.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Objection is heard.
