  Ms. LOFGREN. Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent that the Committee

joint resolution (H.J. Res. 27) providing for the appointment of 
Barbara Barrett as a citizen regent of the Board of Regents of the 
Smithsonian Institution, and ask for its immediate consideration in the

  The Clerk read the title of the joint resolution.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the
