                       REREFERRAL OF A NOMINATION

  Mr. MITCHELL. Mr. President, as if in executive session, I ask 
unanimous consent that Executive Calendar item No. 785 be referred back 
to the Committee on Foreign Relations and that the cloture motion filed 
on this nomination be withdrawn.
  I am taking this action because it has just been brought to my 
attention that this particular nomination was reported in a manner 
contrary to Senate rules. The committee has asked for this action.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection?
  Mr. HELMS. Mr. President, reserving the right to object, and of 
course I will not object, I thank the distinguished majority leader for 
taking this action. It saves a lot of ``who struck John,'' and I thank 
him very much.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
