                  UNANIMOUS CONSENT REQUEST--H.R. 4112

  Mr. LOTT. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the Senate now

[[Page S8471]]

turn to H.R. 4112, the legislative appropriations bill, and the 
following amendments be the only amendments in order: One, a Thomas-
Brownback amendment regarding nongovernmental services, and one 
managers' amendment. I further ask unanimous consent that debate must 
be concluded today, with the exception of the managers' amendment, and 
that any vote ordered with respect to the bill be postponed to occur at 
9:30 a.m. on Tuesday, July 21. I further ask unanimous consent the 
Senate proceed to the State-Justice-Commerce appropriations bill 
following the conclusion of debate on the legislative appropriations 
bill.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection?
  Mr. BROWNBACK. Mr. President, reserving the right to object, as I 
understand the proposal being put forward by the majority leader, it 
would not include the marriage penalty bill that I am requesting we get 
a vote on, that I know that he does support; we are getting some 
opposition from other places.
  If that is, indeed, the case, I must object to this bill.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The objection is heard.
  Mr. LOTT. In light of the objection, I have no alternative than to 
call up the legislative appropriations bill and file a cloture motion.
