                   UNANIMOUS CONSENT REQUEST--S. 1214

  Mr. HARKIN. Madam President, I ask unanimous consent that the 
majority leader, following consultation with the Republican leader, may 
proceed to the consideration of Calendar No. 161, S. 1214, the Port, 
Maritime and Rail Security Act; that when the measure is considered, it 
be under the following limitations: That a managers' substitute 
amendment be in order; that the substitute amendment be considered and 
agreed to and the motion to reconsider be laid upon the table; that the 
bill, as thus amended, be considered as original text for the purpose 
of further amendment, with no points of order waived by this agreement; 
that all first-degree amendments must be transportation-related; that 
second-degree amendments must be relevant to the first-degree amendment 
to which it is offered; that upon the disposition of all amendments, 
the bill be read the third time and the Senate vote on passage of the 
bill, with no further intervening action or debate.
  Mr. THOMAS. Madam President, I object. All the agreements have not 
been made on both sides.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The objection is heard.
  Mr. HARKIN. I suggest the absence of a quorum.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will call the roll.
  The legislative clerk proceeded to call the roll.
  Mr. REID. Madam President, I ask unanimous consent that the order for 
the quorum call be rescinded.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
