                  UNANIMOUS CONSENT REQUEST--H.R. 4250

  Mr. DASCHLE. Mr. President, I had noted earlier today that I hoped we

[[Page S9972]]

could consider a new strategy, or a new way with which to accommodate 
the growing array of legislative needs that we, as a caucus, and the 
Senate need to address. I had intended at some point today to offer a 
unanimous consent request. I will do so, and then I will speak to it in 
a moment.
  At this time I ask unanimous consent that when the Senate completes 
its consideration today of the Interior appropriations bill, it turn to 
consideration of Calendar No. 505, the House-passed HMO reform bill, 
and that the bill become the pending business every day thereafter upon 
completion of legislative business. I further ask unanimous consent 
that the bill be limited to relevant amendments.
  Mr. BENNETT. I object.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Objection is heard.
  Mr. BENNETT addressed the Chair.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Utah.
