              INTERNET TAX FREEDOM ACT--MOTION TO PROCEED

  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The pending question is the motion to proceed 
to S. 442.
  Mr. GRAMM. Will the Senator yield? Parliamentary inquiry, Mr. 
President.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Texas.
  Mr. GRAMM. Is the unanimous consent request of the majority leader to 
proceed to H.R. 10?
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. That request is not pending at this moment. 
The question is the motion to proceed. Is there further debate on that?
  Mr. GRAMM. Reserving the right to object, the motion before the 
Senate is a motion to proceed to the Internet tax bill; is that 
correct?
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator is correct.
  Mr. GRAMM. I have no objection to proceeding to it, but I do object 
to proceeding to H.R. 10.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection to agreeing to the motion 
to proceed to S. 442? Without objection, it is so ordered.
  The motion was agreed to.
  Mr. LOTT addressed the Chair.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The majority leader is recognized.
  Mr. LOTT. Mr. President, I suggest the absence of a quorum.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will call the roll.
  The assistant legislative clerk proceeded to call the roll.
  Mr. LOTT. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the order for 
the quorum call be rescinded.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
