Mr. CULLOM. I sent to the desk some time ago a conference report which I should like to have laid before the Senate before any other business is taken up, if I may have it done. The PRESIDENT pro tempore. The Senator from Illinois presents a conference report. The Secretary proceeded to read the report of the committee of conference, but was interrupted by - Mr. PETTIGREW. Mr. President, I should like very much to have this conference report printed in the RECORD and go over until to-morrow. I therefore ask that that may be done. Mr. CULLOM. Of course if the Senate desires to have the report printed -- Mr. PETTIGREW. Simply in the RECORD. That is all. Mr. CULLOM. I suppose I have no right to object to the request, and shall not do so. The PRESIDENT pro tempore. The Senator from South Dakota |Mr. PETTIGREW] asks that the report of the conference committee on the Hawaiian bill may be printed in the RECORD. Mr. PETTIGREW. And also as a document. Mr. CULLOM. If the report goes over, I should like also to have the bill printed as it has been agreed upon, so that Senators can see exactly what it is. Mr. PLATT of Connecticut. That is right. Mr. PETTIGREW. I simply want the information in the easiest possible way. Mr. CULLOM. That will be the best way. The PRESIDENT pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the Senator from South Dakota [Mr. PETTIGREW] as it has been modified by the Senator from Illinois [Mr. CULLOM]?
