                   UNANIMOUS-CONSENT REQUEST--S. 1071

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the Senate 
proceed to the immediate consideration of S. 1071, which was introduced 
earlier today by Senators Landrieu and Lott; that the bill be read 
three times, passed, and the motion to reconsider be laid upon the 
table; without any intervening action or debate.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection?
  The Republican leader.
  Mr. McCONNELL. Mr. President, there are objections on this side. I, 
therefore, have to object.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Objection is heard.
  Mr. REID. Mr. President, I would say, very briefly, Senator Landrieu 
has spoken at great length on this issue. Senator Lott has talked to me 
several times about this issue. I hope we can get this cleared in the 
near future.
