               UNANIMOUS CONSENT REQUEST--H. CON. RES. 25

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the Senate 
proceed to the consideration of Calendar No. 33, H. Con. Res. 25; that 
is, the budget resolution; that all after the enacting clause be 
stricken and that the amendment which is at the desk, the text of S. 
Con. Res. 8, the budget resolution passed by the Senate, be inserted in 
lieu thereof; that H. Con. Res. 25, as amended, be agreed to, the 
motion to reconsider be consider made and laid on 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, with the appointment of 
the budget conferees being on the ratio of 7 Democrats to 5 
Republicans, and there be no intervening action or debate.
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. Is there objection?
  The Senator from Pennsylvania.
  Mr. TOOMEY. Mr. President, the ranking member of the Budget 
Committee, Senator Sessions, is not available because he has a conflict 
at the moment. On his behalf, I object.
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. Objection is heard.
