                        H.R. 1216 AND H.R. 1254

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, I have two consent requests that I have been 
asked to propound on behalf of Members on our side. These two bills are 
very important. There are objections on the Republican side. I would 
propound the requests, but I have been told the Republicans would have 
to bring somebody here, and there would be an objection, so I am not 
going to make that necessary.
  The bills are H.R. 1216, Kids and Cars Safety Act of 2007, and H.R. 
1254, the Presidential Library bill. These two pieces of legislation 
are important to Senators Clinton and Lieberman.
  I would like to announce today that when the Senate returns for 
business in January, we will ask the consents again, and I hope at that 
time the minority, who are now objecting, will not be here to lodge 
those objections.
