                   UNANIMOUS CONSENT REQUEST--S. 757

  Mrs. CLINTON. Mr. President, will the Senator from Rhode Island, with 
whom I agree 100 percent, join me in a unanimous-consent request to 
pass this bill right now?
  Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that we pass S. 757, the 
Breast Cancer Environmental Research Act of 2006.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. On behalf of another Senator, in my personal 
capacity as a Senator from the State of Louisiana, I object.
  There is objection heard.
  Mrs. CLINTON. Mr. President, I join my colleague in expressing great 
regret that once again the women of America have been blocked from 
having the additional help that this bill would provide. I applaud 
those of us who have tried on a bipartisan basis to pass this very 
important bill to increase research between the possible links of 
breast cancer and the environment and to include peer review grant 
programs within the National Institutes of Health and make sure that 
consumers and researchers and victims of breast cancer are part of 
determining how we spend money in order to try to prevent, treat, cure, 
and ultimately abolish the horrible disease of breast cancer.
  I yield the floor.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Who yields time? The Senator from Arizona is 
recognized. Under the previous agreement, the Senator is recognized for 
15 minutes.
