             A RESOLUTION AMENDING PARAGRAPH 2 OF RULE XXV

  Mr. DOLE. Mr. President, I send a resolution to the desk and ask that 
it be read by title.
  The PRESIDENT pro tempore. The clerk will report.
  The assistant legislative clerk read as follows:

       A resolution (S. Res. 14) amending paragraph 2 of Rule XXV.

  The PRESIDENT pro tempore. Is there objection to consideration of the 
resolution?
  Mr. HARKIN. Mr. President, reserving the right to object, I ask 
unanimous consent that when the resolution is considered today that I 
be permitted to offer an amendment to it today. My amendment makes 
changes in rule 22 and the majority leader is aware of this.
  The PRESIDENT pro tempore. Is there objection?
  Mr. BYRD. Mr. President, reserving the right to object.
  The PRESIDENT pro tempore. The Senator from West Virginia.
  Mr. BYRD. Mr. President, I have no objection.
  The PRESIDENT pro tempore. Is there objection? Hearing none, it is so 
ordered.
  Mr. DOLE addressed the Chair.
  The PRESIDENT pro tempore. The distinguished majority leader.
  Mr. DOLE. Mr. President, I share the view expressed by the Senator 
from Iowa, and I ask unanimous consent now that the resolution be laid 
aside until the conclusion of routine morning business later today, and 
then we can proceed.
  The PRESIDENT pro tempore. Without objection, so ordered.
  Mr. DOLE. Mr. President, let me further state that the purpose of the 
resolution is to set the size of committees, and it is this resolution 
that the Senator from Iowa has chosen to amend. That will be debated 
later on this afternoon.
