                   UNANIMOUS-CONSENT REQUEST--S. 579

  Mr. REID. I know there are some of my Republican friends on the 
floor, so I am going to ask unanimous consent now on the request I 
made, the Breast Cancer and Environmental Research Act.
  Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent the Senate proceed to the 
consideration of Calendar No. 628, S. 579, the Breast Cancer 
Environmental Research Act, the committee-reported substitute be agreed 
to, the bill, as amended, be read three times, passed, the motion to 
reconsider be laid on the table, and any statements be printed at the 
appropriate place in the Record as if read, with no intervening action 
or debate.
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. Is there objection? The Senator 
from Arizona is recognized.
  Mr. KYL. Mr. President, on behalf of Senator Coburn, there is 
objection.
