                         CONCURRENT RESOLUTION


 
       To adjourn sine die the 1st session of the 105th Congress

    Resolved by the Senate (the House of Representatives concurring), 
That when the House adjourns on the legislative day of Thursday, 
November 13, 1997, or Friday, November 14, 1997, on a motion offered 
pursuant to this concurrent resolution by the Majority Leader or his 
designee, it stand adjourned sine die, or until noon on the second day 
after Members are notified to reassemble pursuant to section 2 of this 
concurrent resolution, and that when the Senate adjourns on Thursday, 
November 13, 1997, or Friday, November 14, 1997, on a motion offered 
pursuant to this concurrent resolution by the Majority Leader or his 
designee, it stand adjourned sine die, or until noon on the second day 
after Members are notified to reassemble pursuant to section 2 of this 
concurrent resolution.
    Sec. 2. The Speaker of the House and the Majority Leader of the 
Senate, acting jointly after consultation with the Minority Leader of 
the House and the Minority Leader of the Senate, shall notify the 
Members of the House and Senate, respectively, to reassemble whenever, 
in their opinion, the public interest shall warrant it.
    Sec. 3. The Congress declares that clause 5 of rule III of the 
Rules of the House of Representatives and the order of the Senate of 
January 7, 1997, authorize for the duration of the One Hundred Fifth 
Congress the Clerk of the House of Representatives and the Secretary of 
the Senate, respectively: to receive messages from the President during 
periods when the House and Senate are not in session and thereby 
preserve until adjournment sine die of the final regular session of the 
One Hundred Fifth Congress the constitutional prerogative of the House 
and Senate to reconsider vetoed measures in light of the objections of 
the President, since the availability of the Clerk and the Secretary 
during any earlier adjournment of either House during the current 
Congress does not prevent the return by the President of any bill 
presented to him for approval.
    Sec. 4. The Clerk of the House of Representatives shall inform the 
President of the United States of the adoption of this concurrent 
resolution.
