             THE JACOB K. JAVITS SENATE FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM

  Mr. METZENBAUM. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the 
Senate proceed to the immediate consideration of S. Res. 269, a 
resolution related to the Jacob K. Javits Senate Fellowship Program 
submitted earlier today by the majority leader and the Republican 
leader, that the resolution be agreed to, and that the motion to 
reconsider be laid upon the table.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  There being no objection, the Senate proceeded to consider the

  So the resolution (S. Res. 269) was agreed to.
  The resolution is as follows:

     Fellows shall be considered as employees of the office or 
     committee in which they are placed.''; and
       (3) in section 5, by inserting ``the Minority Leader of'' 
     before ``the Senate''.
