                   UNANIMOUS-CONSENT REQUEST--H.R. 1

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, I have another unanimous-consent request, 
and this is the one I tried to offer earlier. I ask unanimous consent 
that if the House further amends H.R. 1 with the text of H.R. 1401 and 
requests a conference with the Senate, the Senate agree to the request 
and appoint the same conferees which the Senate has already appointed 
to H.R. 1.
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. Is there objection?
  The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. Salazar). Is there objection?
  Mr. KYL. Reserving the right to object, we have already agreed to the 
previous consent to go to conference on the 9/11 Commission 
legislation. We have named conferees on the part of the Senate.
  As I understand it, the House wants to add a new bill to the 
conference, which includes provisions that were not included in either 
Chambers' 9/11 bill. I am not familiar with all the provisions of H.R. 
1401, but I know the Senate has not acted on that bill, and we don't 
believe it was part of the 9/11 Commission recommendations.
  Having said that, we need to object to this request at this time.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Objection is heard.
