                  UNANIMOUS-CONSENT REQUESTS--S. 3186

  Mr. REID. Madam President, I ask unanimous consent that the Senate 
proceed to Calendar No. 835, S. 3186, a bill to provide for the Low-
Income Home Energy Assistance Program; that the bill be read three 
times, passed, and the motion to reconsider be laid on the table.
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. Is there objection?
  Mr. CORNYN. I object.
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. Objection is heard.
  Mr. REID. I now ask unanimous consent that the Senate proceed to 
Calendar No. 835, S. 3186, a bill to provide for the Low-Income Home 
Energy Assistance Program, at a time to be determined by the majority 
leader, following consultation with the Republican leader, and that 
when the bill is considered, only six germane first-degree amendments 
be in order to the bill, three amendments from each side, and that they 
be subject to second-degree amendments that are germane to the first-
degree to which offered; that upon the disposition of all amendments, 
the bill be read a third time, and the Senate then vote on passage of 
the bill; that upon passage of the bill, the bill be held at the desk.
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. Is there objection?
  Mr. CORNYN. Madam President, reserving the right to object, our side 
thinks it is imperative that we move to lower gas prices, so I object 
to the unanimous-consent request.
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. Objection is heard.
