reserving the right to object, what the Senator is asking is that we go back to what we had votes on throughout the entire budget debate way into the morning hours on the issues of reconciliation, on the issues of revenue that were all debated and voted on--some passed, some were defeated. We are not going to take those up again. We are going to go to conference with the budget that was passed by the majority in the Senate and by the majority in the House, and those views will be represented in conference. We cannot get to that debate and that discussion without moving to conference, so I object to his unanimous consent and ask for consent on my request again. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Objection is heard to the modified request. Is there objection to the original request? Mr. McCONNELL. I object. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Objection is heard. The Senator from Washington.
