                  ANABOLIC STEROID CONTROL ACT OF 2004

  Mr. CANNON. Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent to take from the 
Speaker's table the Senate bill (S. 2195) to amend the Controlled

steroid precursors, and ask for its immediate consideration in the 
House.
  The Clerk read the title of the Senate bill.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the 
gentleman from Utah?
