                       UNANIMOUS CONSENT REQUESTS

  Mr. GRASSLEY. Mr. President, the Senate Budget Committee is charged 
with the enforcement of budgetary levels and associated budgetary laws. 
This duty entails the review of measures through all stages of the 
legislative process. Consistent with the practice of previous chairs 
and ranking members of the committee, I have instructed my staff to 
review all bills and resolutions for which unanimous consent for 
passage is requested for any budgetary and programmatic effects.
  To help my staff perform their duties and avoid unnecessary delays 
during the unanimous consent process, Members are encouraged to provide 
Budget Committee staff with legislative text and corresponding 
budgetary information from either the Congressional Budget Office or 
the Joint Committee on Taxation. I will use this information to weigh 
the budgetary and policy implications of each matter.
  If after considering this information I decide to object to 
legislation, I will file notice of that decision publicly.
