MAKING IN ORDER AT ANY TIME CONSIDERATION OF CONFERENCE REPORT ON H.R. 
     1815, NATIONAL DEFENSE AUTHORIZATION ACT FOR FISCAL YEAR 2006

  Mr. DREIER. Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent that it be in order 
at any time to consider a conference report to accompany H.R. 1815; 
that all points of order against the conference report and against its 
consideration be waived; that the conference report be considered as 
read; that the conference report be debatable for 40 minutes equally 
divided and controlled by the chairman and ranking minority member of 
the Committee on Armed Services.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the 
gentleman from California?
  Mr. KUCINICH. Reserving the right to object, Mr. Speaker, this report 
contains hundreds, if not over a thousand pages. Is that my 
understanding?
  Mr. DREIER. Mr. Speaker, will the gentleman yield under his 
reservation?
  Mr. KUCINICH. I yield to the gentleman from California.
  Mr. DREIER. Let me just say that this is the conference report that 
has been out there, has been widely available, and has been written 
about and addressed by the media and Members.
  I know that both the minority and the majority are very enthusiastic 
about the prospect of moving this extraordinarily important defense 
authorization conference report as expeditiously as possible, and I 
thank my friend for yielding.
  Mr. KUCINICH. Mr. Speaker, I withdraw my reservation of objection.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the 
gentleman from California?
  There was no objection.
