  Mr. GEPHARDT. Mr. Speaker, I offer a privileged concurrent resolution 
(H. Con. Res. 289) and ask for its immediate consideration.
  The Clerk read the concurrent resolution, as follows:

     concurring), That when the House is in receipt of a message 
     that the Senate has agreed to a concurrent resolution 
     providing for the adjournment of the two Houses to noon on 
     Thursday, September 8, 1994, or until noon on the second day 
     after Members are notified to reassemble pursuant to section 
     2 of this concurrent resolution, whichever occurs first, that 
     the House shall stand adjourned in like manner; and that when 
     the Senate recesses or adjourns at the close of business on 
     Monday, August 22, 1994, or any day thereafter, pursuant to a 
     motion made by the Majority Leader or his designee, in 
     accordance with this resolution, it stand recessed or 
     adjourned until noon on Thursday, September 8, 1994, or until 
     noon on the second day after Members are notified to 
     reassemble pursuant to section 2 of this concurrent 
     resolution, whichever occurs first.
       Sec. 2. The Speaker of the House and the Majority Leader of 
     the Senate, acting jointly after consultation with the 
     Minority Leader of the House and the Minority Leader of the 
     Senate, shall notify the Members of the House and the Senate, 
     respectively, to reassemble whenever, in their opinion, the 
     public interest shall warrant it.

  The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mr. Kildee). Without objection, the 
concurrent resolution is agreed to.
  There was no objection.
  A motion to reconsider was laid on the table.
