                      UNANIMOUS-CONSENT AGREEMENT

  Mr. MITCHELL. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the 
following amendments be the only first-degree floor amendments 
remaining in order to S. 1513, the elementary and secondary education 
authorization bill; that they be subject to second-degree amendments, 
provided they are relevant to first degree to which offered; provided, 
further, that upon disposition of the amendments the bill be read a 
third time; and that the Labor committee then be discharged from 
further consideration of H.R. 6, the House companion; that all after 
the enacting clause be stricken and the text of S. 1513, as amended, be 
inserted in lieu thereof; that H.R. 6 be advanced to third reading; and 
the Senate then vote on passage of the bill with the above occurring 
without any intervening action or debate; that upon disposition of H.R. 
6, the Senate insist on its amendments, request a conference with the 
House on the disagreeing votes of the two Houses, and that the Chair be 
authorized to appoint conferees; and that the Senate measure then be 
indefinitely postponed.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. Lautenberg). Without objection, it is so 
ordered.
  Mr. MITCHELL. Mr. President, I send the list of amendments to the 
desk.
  I thank my colleagues, and I especially thank the Senators from 
Massachusetts and Vermont for their diligence in pursuing this.
  And I thank the Senator from Utah for his courtesy.
  Mr. HATCH. Mr. President, why do I not just put the amendment into 
the Record and the speech in the Record tonight so people will know 
what it is about, and we will spend time on it, if the Senator from 
Massachussetts so desires.
  Mr. MITCHELL. I will proceed in whatever manner the Senator from Utah 
wishes.
  Mr. KENNEDY. That is fine.
