                  UNANIMOUS CONSENT REQUEST--H.R. 4475

  Mr. STEVENS. Mr. President, I ask consent that the Senate now proceed 
to


the Transportation appropriations conference report, notwithstanding 
the receipt of the papers from the House.
  I further ask consent that the conference report be considered under 
the following time agreement: 10 minutes for the chairman and ranking 
member of the Appropriations Committee; 10 minutes for the chairman and 
ranking member; of the appropriations subcommittee; and 15 minutes 
under the control of Senator McCain.
  I further ask consent that following the use or yielding back of 
time, the Senate proceed to vote on the adoption of the conference 
report, without any intervening action or debate.
  Mr. McCAIN. I object.
  Mr. STEVENS. I thank the Senator for his normal courtesy.
  I suggest the absence of a quorum.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will call the roll.
  The assistant legislative clerk proceeded to call roll.
  Mr. WELLSTONE. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the order 
for the quorum call be rescinded.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  Mr. WELLSTONE. Mr. President, I will take 10 minutes in morning 
business while we are trying to work things out here on the floor.
  Mr. STEVENS. Mr. President, will the Senator yield for just one 
moment?
  Mr. WELLSTONE. I am pleased to yield.
  Mr. STEVENS. For the purpose of managing the floor, would there be an 
objection if we extended morning business until 11 a.m.? The papers are 
not here on the Transportation appropriations bill.
