                             CLOTURE MOTION

  Mr. MITCHELL. Mr. President, I send a cloture motion on the Brown 
nomination to the desk and ask that it be stated.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will state the motion.
  The bill clerk read as follows:

                             Cloture Motion

       We, the undersigned Senators, in accordance with the 
     provisions of Rule XXII of the Standing Rules of the Senate, 
     hereby move to bring to a close the debate on Executive 
     Calendar No. 785, the Nomination of Sam W. Brown, for the 
     rank of Ambassador during his tenure of service as Head of 
     Delegation to the Conference on Security and Cooperation in 
     Europe:

         Claiborne Pell, Daniel K. Akaka, Edward M. Kennedy, Paul 
           Simon, Paul Wellstone, Carl Levin, Barbara Boxer, Herb 
           Kohl, Jeff Bingaman, Howard M. Metzenbaum, J.J. Exon, 
           Tom Daschle, Carol Moseley-Braun, Jim Sasser, Wendell 
           Ford, George Mitchell.

  Mr. MITCHELL. Mr. President, we confront the same situation with 
respect to the nomination of Rosemary Barkett to be U.S. Circuit Judge 
for the 11th Circuit. That is to say, we have been advised by our 
Republican colleagues that they will filibuster this nomination and 
will not agree to a vote on it, and therefore it is necessary to file a 
motion to invoke cloture to end the filibuster and to permit a vote to 
occur.
