                   UNANIMOUS CONSENT REQUEST--S. 1575

  Mr. COVERDELL. I ask unanimous consent that the Senate proceed to the 
immediate consideration of calendar No. 301, S. 1575, the Ronald Reagan 
Airport legislation.
  Mr. FORD. On behalf of several Senators on my side, I must object.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The objection is heard.
  Mr. FORD. I suggest the absence of a quorum.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will call the roll.
  The assistant legislative clerk proceeded to call.
  Mr. COVERDELL. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the order 
for the quorum call be rescinded.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  Mr. COVERDELL. Mr. President, we have decided not to proceed with the 
cloture motion on the motion to proceed to the bill in anticipation of 
the two leaders meeting in the morning to discusses its disposition. 
From our point, hopefully, given the timeframe of the 87th birthday, 
there will be some attempt to resolve this tomorrow.
