                           ORDER OF PROCEDURE

  Mr. DeCONCINI. Mr. President, on behalf of the Senator from New York 
[Mr. D'Amato] and myself, I rise today with a deep sense of sadness and 
regret to inform Members of this body that a young, dedicated, and 
experienced Drug Enforcement Administration agent, Mr. Richard Fass, 
was killed in the line of duty in Phoenix last night during the course 
of an attempted arrest with some drug dealers.
  I discussed this with the manager of the bill, so I ask unanimous 
consent that the pending legislation before the body be set aside and I 
be permitted to offer a resolution that has been cleared on both sides 
on this particular matter.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection?
  Mr. NUNN. Mr. President, could I just inquire of the Senator from 
Arizona, has this been cleared?
  Mr. DeCONCINI. This has been cleared.
  Mr. NUNN. Because this is not part of our bill. It is a separate 
matter. Who has cleared this? Has it been cleared with the respective 
committees?
  Mr. DeCONCINI. On both sides of the aisle, with Mr. Roth and Mr. 
Glenn on the committees of jurisdiction, and with the majority and 
minority leaders.
  Mr. NUNN. I thank the Senator.
