                   UNANIMOUS-CONSENT REQUEST--S. 2185

  Mr. INHOFE. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the Senate 
proceed to the immediate consideration of S. 2185, a bill to 
permanently extend the current marginal tax rates, and that the bill be 
read a third time and passed. I further ask that the bill then be held 
at the desk until the House companion bill arrives and that all after 
the enacting clause be stricken, the text of the Senate-passed bill be 
inserted, and the House bill, as amended, be read for a third time and 
passed.
  This is the same legislation extension that I just described.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection?
  Mr. BAUCUS. Mr. President, again reserving the right to object, would 
the Senator again amend his consent request to instead allow the 
consent request I requested just previously?
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Will the Senator from Oklahoma so modify his 
request?
  Mr. INHOFE. No, I will not at this time.
  Mr. BAUCUS. Hearing his response, Mr. President, I must object.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Objection is heard.
  The Senator from Oklahoma.
