UNANIMOUS CONSENT AGREEMENT — H.R. 9803
Mr. ROBERT C. BYRD. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that a vote on passage of the child daycare center measure occur tomorrow no later than 3 p.m.
The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection?
Mr. MUSKIE. Mr. President, reserving the right to object, I interject not so much for the purpose of commenting on the request as for the purpose of alerting the Senate that there is a problem in connection with section 401(b) (1) of the Budget Act, a problem which I am in the process of resolving, in connection with the Day Care Center Act. So that no one may be surprised if that problem is raised tomorrow, I take this occasion to mention that point. I do not object to the unanimous consent request.
The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection?
Several Senators addressed the Chair.
Mr. ROBERT C. BYRD. Mr. President, I suggest the absence of a quorum.
The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will call the roll.
The second assistant legislative clerk proceeded to call the roll.
Mr. ROBERT C. BYRD. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the order for the quorum call be rescinded.
The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. TAFT). Without objection, it is so ordered.
Mr. ROBERT C. BYRD. Mr. President, I modify my previous request by adding the provision that the vote on final passage of the bill be at not later than the hour of 2 p.m. tomorrow, with paragraph 3 of rule XII of the Senate Standing Rules being waived.
The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection?
Mr. JOHNSTON. Mr. President, is that the child daycare bill?
Mr. ROBERT C. BYRD. Yes.
Final vote will occur no later than 2 p.m., and then the Senate would go immediately back to the rice bill.
The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
Mr. ROBERT C. BYRD. I thank all Senators.
Mr. President, I suggest the absence of a quorum.
The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will call the roll.
The second assistant legislative clerk proceeded to call the roll.
Mr. ROBERT C. BYRD. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the order for the quorum call be rescinded.
