                VIETNAM VETERANS MEMORIAL EDUCATION ACT

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the Senate 
proceed to the consideration of Calendar No. 444 S. 281; that the 
Bingaman amendment which is at the desk be considered and agreed to; 
that the committee-reported amendment, as amended, be agreed to; the 
motion to reconsider by laid upon the table; and there be no 
intervening action or debate.
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. Is there an objection?
  Mr. BENNETT. On behalf of several Senators on this side, I do object.
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. The objection is heard.
  Mr. REID. I am disappointed. The morning is early but there will be 
no speeches.
  I suggest the absence of a quorum.
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. The clerk will call the roll.
  The assistant legislative clerk proceeded to call the roll.
  Mr. REID. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the order for 
the quorum call be rescinded.
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. Without objection, it is so 
ordered.
