     REQUEST FOR IMMEDIATE CONSIDERATION OF S. 1575, RONALD REAGAN 
                      WASHINGTON NATIONAL AIRPORT

  Mr. SHUSTER. Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent to take from the 
Speaker's table the Senate bill (S. 1575) to rename the Washington 
National Airport located in the District of Columbia and Virginia as 
the ``Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport,'' and ask for its 
immediate consideration in the House.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mr. Hansen). As indicated in the House Rules 
and in the Manual in section 757, the Chair is constrained by the 
Speaker's announced guidelines not to entertain such a request in the 
absence of bipartisan clearance.
  Mr. SHUSTER. Mr. Speaker, this has been cleared by the majority on 
this side. Do I understand the Speaker to say that it has been objected 
to by the minority?
  Mr. MOAKLEY. Mr. Speaker, reserving the right to object.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Chair has been advised that the minority 
will object.
  Mr. SHUSTER. I understand the Speaker to announce that the minority 
will object to this, and I therefore understand and withdraw.

                          ____________________
