  The resolution (S. Res. 258) resolution to refer S. 974 entitled ``A 
bill for the relief of Richard Kanehl of Mobile, Alabama.'' to the 
chief judge of the U.S. Court of Federal Claims for a report thereon

                              S. Res. 258

       Resolved, That, as a supplement to S. Res. 108 of the 103d 
     Congress, the bill S. 974 entitled ``A bill for the relief of 
     Richard Kanehl of Mobile, Alabama.'' now pending in the 
     Senate, together with all the accompanying papers, is 
     referred to the chief judge of the United States Court of 
     Federal Claims. The chief judge shall proceed with the same 
     in accordance with the provisions of sections 1492 and 2509 
     of title 28, United States Code, notwithstanding the bar of 
     any statute of limitations, laches, res judicata, collateral 
     estoppel, or bar of sovereign immunity, and report thereon to 
     the Senate, at the earliest practicable date, giving such 
     findings of fact and conclusions thereon as shall be 
     sufficient to inform the Congress of the nature and character 
     of the demand as a claim, legal or equitable, against the 
     United States or a gratuity and the amount, if any, legally 
     or equitably due to the claimants from the United States. In 
     complying with this resolution, the Court of Federal Claims 
     is requested to consider the records of any previous trial of 
     the issues in this case, including the records of Merchants 
     National Bank v. United States (7 Cl. Ct. 1; 1984).
