                   UNANIMOUS-CONSENT REQUEST--S. 1662

  Mr. WYDEN. Mr. President, with the indulgence of the Senator from 
Oklahoma, at this time, on behalf of Senator Kerry, I ask unanimous 
consent that the Senate proceed to the immediate consideration of 
Calendar No. 422, S. 1662; that the amendment at the desk be considered 
and agreed to; the committee-reported amendment, as amended, be agreed 
to; the bill, as amended, be read a third time; that the Small Business 
and Entrepreneurship Committee then be discharged of H.R. 3567, the 
House companion, and all after the enacting clause be stricken, the 
text of S. 1662, as amended, be inserted in lieu thereof, the bill be 
advanced to third reading, passed, and the motion to reconsider be laid 
upon the table; that the Senate insist on its amendment, request a 
conference with the House on the disagreeing votes of the two Houses, 
and the Chair be authorized to appoint conferees on the part of the 
Senate; that S. 1662 be returned to the calendar, with all of the above 
occurring without intervening action or debate.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection?
  Mr. COBURN. Mr. President, I object and will take my morning hour 
time to explain why.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Objection is heard.
