     AUTHORIZING PRINTING OF SENATOR ROBERT C. BYRD'S ADDRESSES TO 
           THE UNITED STATES SENATE ON THE HISTORY OF ROMAN 
                           CONSTITUTIONALISM

  Mr. ROSE. Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent for the immediate 
consideration of Senate concurrent resolution (S. Con. Res. 68) to 
authorize printing of ``Senator Robert C. Byrd's Addresses to the 
United States Senate on the History of Roman Constitutionalism.''
  The Clerk read the title of the Senate concurrent resolution.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mr. Barrett of Wisconsin). Is there 
objection to the request of the gentleman from North Carolina?
  Mr. THOMAS of California. Mr. Speaker, reserving the right to object, 
I do so for the purpose of asking the chairman of the committee a 
question.
  To be able to print the ``Robert Byrd Addresses to the United States 
Senate on the History of Roman Constitutionalism,'' the printing 
presses have to be free on any jobs that probably were anticipated to 
be printed prior to printing this. And the only thing I could think of 
was, of course, the task force on the Post Office's support that was 
ordered to be compiled and printed. Is that going to be done?
  Mr. ROSE. Mr. Speaker, will the gentleman from California yield?
  Mr. THOMAS of California. I certainly yield to the gentleman from 
North Carolina, the chairman of the committee.
  Mr. ROSE. I thank the gentleman for yielding.
  Mr. Speaker, I am very happy to tell the gentleman that tomorrow 
morning the transcript of those proceeding will be sent to the Public 
Printer for printing at once.
  Mr. THOMAS of California. Now, the supporting documents could be 
rightfully called an appendix, though the transcripts were the primary 
concern, and I am pleased to hear that they will be sent to the printer 
tomorrow morning, and as soon as possible my assumption is then the 
materials that would be in the follow-on appendix would be compiled and 
sent to the printer as well.
  Mr. ROSE. This gentleman is correct.
  Mr. THOMAS of California. Mr. Speaker, that means the printing 
presses would be cleared to print ``Senator Robert C. Byrd's Addresses 
to the United States Senate on the History of Roman 
Constitutionalism,'' and I withdraw my reservation of objection.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the 
gentleman from North Carolina?
  There was no objection.
  The Clerk read the Senate concurrent resolution, as follows:

       Resolved by the Senate (the House of Representatives 
     concurring), That there shall be printed as a Senate document 
     ``U.S. Senator Robert C. Byrd's Addresses to the United 
     States Senate on the History of Roman Constitutionalism'', 
     delivered between May 5, 1993 and October 18, 1993.
       Sec. 2. The document referred to in the first section shall 
     be--
       (1) published under the supervision of the Secretary of the 
     Senate; and
       (2) in such style, form, manner, and binding as directed by 
     the Joint Committee on Printing, after consultation with the 
     Secretary of the Senate.

     The document shall include illustrations.
       Sec. 3. In addition to the usual number of copies of the 
     document, there shall be printed the lesser of--
       (1) 5,000 copies for the use of the Secretary of Senate; or
       (2) such number of copies as does not exceed a total 
     production and printing cost of $47,864.

  The Senate concurrent resolution was concurred in.
  A motion to reconsider was laid on the table.
