  UNANIMOUS CONSENT REQUEST--DIGITAL TELEVISION TRANSITION AND PUBLIC 
                           SAFETY ACT OF 2005

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the Senate 
proceed to the immediate consideration of the Digital Television 
Transition and Public Safety Act of 2005; further, that the bill be 
read three times, passed, the motions to reconsider be laid on the 
table, and that there be no intervening action or debate.
  To more specifically define the bill, it is for the consideration of 
the Rockefeller bill which is at the desk, a bill to delay the Digital 
Television Transition and Public Safety Act of 2005 until June 13 of 
2009.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there an objection to the request?
  Mr. REID. Mr. President, we alerted the minority that we were going 
to offer this, and because there are some problems with time, I 
understand there would be an objection to this request. As a result, I 
will withdraw my request and renew it probably on Tuesday or Wednesday.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The request is withdrawn.
