       IMPROVING AMERICA'S SCHOOLS ACT OF 1994--CONFERENCE REPORT

  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. Under the previous order, the hour 
of 9:45 a.m. having arrived, the Senate will now resume consideration 
of the conference report accompanying H.R. 6, which the clerk will 
report.
  The assistant legislative clerk read as follows:

       Conference report to accompany H.R. 6, an act to extend for 
     5 years the authorization of appropriations for the programs 
     under the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965, and 
     for other purposes.

  The Senate resumed the consideration of the conference report.
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. The time before the cloture vote 
shall be equally divided and controlled by the Senator from 
Massachusetts [Mr. Kennedy] and the Senator from Indiana [Mr. Coats].


                         Privilege of the Floor

  Mr. ROTH. Mr. President, if I may rise for a unanimous consent 
request, I ask unanimous consent that Walt Koscinski, of my staff, be 
permitted the privileges of the floor during the debate on the 
Elementary and Secondary Education Act conference report.
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. Without objection, it is so 
ordered.
  The Senator from Massachusetts [Mr. Kennedy] is recognized.
  Mr. KENNEDY. Mr. President, just before making, hopefully, the 
concluding comments in support of the legislation, I see my friend, 
Senator Wellstone, on the floor, who wanted to address the Senate on a 
matter that was raised by the Senator from Wyoming.
  I yield him 3 minutes.
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. The Senator from Minnesota is 
recognized.
  Mr. WELLSTONE. I thank the Senator from Massachusetts.
