                                 HAITI

  Mr. DOLE. Mr. President, on another matter, I just suggest there has 
been a lot of talk about Haiti and what we are going to do in Haiti--an 
invasion, whatever.
  I just hope the President might seriously consider a bipartisan 
factfinding mission. I think it would have great appeal on both sides 
of the aisle, in both the House and the Senate. I believe it could be 
put together very quickly and have a positive impact on what our course 
of action should be in Haiti. I would certainly be prepared to 
cooperate with the President. I am certain my colleagues on both sides 
of the aisle will, in both the House and the Senate.
  Mr. President, I suggest the absence of a quorum.
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. The clerk will call the roll.
  The legislative clerk proceeded to call the roll.
  Mrs. HUTCHISON. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the order 
for the quorum call be rescinded.
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. Without objection, it is so 
ordered.
  Mrs. HUTCHISON. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent to proceed as 
in morning business for 15 minutes.
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. Without objection, it is so 
ordered.
  Mrs. HUTCHISON. Mr. President, I send to the desk a bill and ask for 
its immediate consideration.
  Mr. BIDEN. I object, Mr. President.
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. Objection is heard.
  Mr. BIDEN. Mr. President, I want to inquire of our colleague from 
Texas. The reason I objected is that I may have misunderstood what she 
said. Is the Senator introducing a bill and seeking its immediate 
consideration?
  Mrs. HUTCHISON. No, Mr. President. I appreciate the question from the 
Senator from Delaware. I meant appropriate referral.
  Mr. BIDEN. I have no objection. Thank you.
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. The Senator from Texas may proceed.
  Mrs. HUTCHISON. I thank the Chair.
  (The remarks of Mrs. Hutchison pertaining to the introduction of S. 
2085 are located in today's Record under ``Statements on Introduced 
Bills and Joint Resolutions.'')
