                   AUTHORIZATION TO MAKE APPOINTMENTS

  Mr. FORD. Mr. President, I send a resolution to the desk and ask for 
its immediate consideration.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The resolution will be stated by title.
  The legislative clerk read as follows:

       A resolution (S. Res. 276) providing that notwithstanding 
     the sine die adjournment, the President of the Senate, the 
     Senate President pro tempore, the majority and minority 
     leaders, are authorized to make appointments to commissions, 
     committees, boards or conferences.

  Mr. FORD. This is a standard Senate resolution submitted and agreed 
to at the end of each session to authorize the making of appointments 
notwithstanding the sine die adjournment of the present session of the 
Congress.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there further debate on the resolution?
  Without objection the resolution is agreed to.
  The resolution (S. Res. 276) was agreed to.
  (The text of the resolution will be printed in a future edition of 
the Record.)
  Mr. FORD. Mr. President, I move to reconsider the vote.
  Mr. SIMPSON. I move to lay that motion on the table.
  The motion to lay on the table was agreed to.
