     THOMAS PAINE MEMORIAL JOINT RESOLUTION--MESSAGE FROM THE HOUSE

  Mr. FEINGOLD. Mr. President, I ask that the Chair lay before the 
Senate a message from the House of Representatives on a joint 
resolution (S.J. Res. 227) to approve the location of a Thomas Paine 
Memorial.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER laid before the Senate the following message 
from the House of Representatives:

       Resolved, That the resolution from the Senate (S.J. Res. 
     227) entitled ``Joint resolution to approve the location of a 
     Thomas Paine Memorial'', do pass with the following 
     amendments:
       Strike all after the resolving clause, and insert:
     That (a) the location of a Thomas Paine Memorial, authorized 
     by Public Law 102-407, as amended by Public Law 102-459, 
     within either Area I or Area II as described in Public Law 
     99-652 (100 Stat. 3650), is approved and (b) the location of 
     a World War II Memorial, authorized by Public Law 103-32, 
     within either Area I or Area II as described in Public Law 
     99-652 (100 Stat. 3650), is hereby approved.
       Strike the preamble, and insert:
       Whereas section 6(a) of the Act entitled ``An Act to 
     provide standards for placement of commemorative works on 
     certain Federal lands in the District of Columbia and its 
     environs, and for other purposes,'' approved November 14, 
     1986 (Public Law 99-652; 100 Stat. 3650) provides that the 
     location of a commemorative work in the area described as 
     Area I shall be deemed disapproved unless the location is 
     approved by law not later than 150 days after notification of 
     Congress that the commemorative work may be located in Area 
     I; and
       Whereas Public Law 102-407, as amended by Public Law 102-
     459, authorized the Thomas Paine National Historical 
     Association U.S.A. Memorial Foundation to establish a 
     memorial on Federal land in the District of Columbia to 
     Thomas Paine; and
       Whereas Public Law 103-32, approved May 25, 1993 (107 Stat. 
     90), authorized the American Battle Monuments Commission to 
     establish a memorial on Federal land in the District of 
     Columbia to members of the Armed Forces who served in World 
     War II; and
       Whereas the Secretary of the Interior has notified the 
     Congress of his determination that such memorials should be 
     located in Area I: Now, therefore, be it
       Amend the title so as to read as follows: ``Joint 
     resolution approving the location of a Thomas Paine Memorial 
     and a World War II Memorial in the Nation's Capitol''.

  Mr. FEINGOLD. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the Senate 
concur in the House amendment.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.

                          ____________________
