On the recordMay 19, 2005
before I object, I could not hear the Senator. Mr. McCONNELL. I ask unanimous consent for 2 minutes to make a request for committees to meet, which my assumption is the Senator from Iowa will object to, and then just to make a very brief statement, a total of 2 minutes. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered. Mr. McCONNELL. Mr. President, I have 10 unanimous consent requests for committees to meet during today's session of the Senate. They have the approval of the majority leader. I ask unanimous consent that these requests be agreed to and be printed in the Record. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection? The Senator from Iowa.
