                  UNANIMOUS CONSENT REQUEST--H.R. 4478

  Mr. SESSIONS. Madam President, I ask unanimous consent that the 
Senate proceed to the immediate consideration of H.R. 4478, the SBA 
reauthorization bill, that the bill be read a third time and passed, 
the motion to reconsider be laid upon the table, and that any 
statements relating to the bill be printed in the Record.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection?
  Mr. DASCHLE. Madam President, this bill passed the House yesterday. 
Senator Snowe and a number of our colleagues on both sides of the aisle 
are negotiating with the White House to accommodate women's businesses 
in particular. It is my understanding there is the real possibility 
that some accommodation can be reached in the next couple of days. In 
order to accommodate that possibility, I object to moving at this 
point.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Objection is heard.
