DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES ASSISTANCE AND BILL OF RIGHTS ACT AMENDMENTS 
                                OF 1993

  Mr. FORD. Mr. President, I ask that the Chair lay before the Senate a 
message from the House of Representatives on S. 1284, a bill to amend 
the Developmental Disabilities Assistance Bill of Rights Act to expand 
or modify certain provisions relating to programs for certain 
individuals with developmental disabilities, Federal assistance for 
priority area activities for individuals with developmental 
disabilities, protection and advocacy of individual rights, university 
affiliated programs, and projects of national significance, and for 
other purposes.
  (The text of the House message pertaining to S. 1284 will appear in a 
future edition of the Record.)
  Mr. FORD. Mr. President, I move that the Senate disagree to the House 
amendments to the Senate bill and request a conference with the House 
on the disagreeing votes of the two Houses, and that the chair be 
authorized to appoint conferees.
  The motion was agreed to, and the Presiding Officer appointed Mr. 
Kennedy, Mr. Harkin, Mr. Metzenbaum, Mrs. Kassebaum, and Mr. 
Durenberger conferees on the part of the Senate.
  Mr. FORD. Mr. President, I suggest the absence of a quorum.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will call the roll.
  The assistant legislative clerk proceeded to call the roll.
  Mr. FORD. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the order for 
the quorum call be rescinded.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
