        NATIONAL DEFENSE AUTHORIZATION ACT FOR FISCAL YEAR 1999

  The Senate continued with the consideration of the bill.
  Mr. THOMPSON. Madam President, I ask unanimous consent that the 
pending motion and amendments be laid aside and it be in order for me 
to call up amendment No. 2813 relative to tax compensation at Fort 
Campbell and no second-degree amendment be in order.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection?

[[Page S6762]]

  Mr. FEINGOLD. Madam President, I object.
  Mr. THOMPSON. Madam President, I regret the objection of my 
colleague. At this time, I put Members on notice that I will attempt to 
get this issue agreed to on the next available bill. This is an 
important issue to many people in my State. Consequently, I hope to 
have the cooperation of a majority of colleagues when I move next to 
enact this legislation.
  I yield the floor.
  Mr. FEINGOLD. Madam President, I ask unanimous consent to speak as in 
morning business.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
