Unanimous Consent Request--H.R. 1759
Mr. BROWN. Mr. President, in order to proceed to consideration of
H.R.
[[Page S6436]]
1759, BRIDGE for Workers Act, I ask unanimous consent that the Senate
proceed to legislative session.
The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection?
Mr. JOHNSON. Mr. President, I object.
The PRESIDING OFFICER. Objection is heard.
Mr. BROWN. Mr. President, I guess I am not surprised about that,
considering I hear my colleagues talk about how outrageous it is that
we were spending $600 a week to help unemployed workers, and this
bipartisan bill that passed the House would help workers to get
retrained and get jobs, and they are not willing to do that either, but
we also know that this is a bill that--we have seen this act before.
