                               COMMITTEE

  Mr. COCHRAN. Mr. President, I send a resolution to the desk which has 
been cleared by both sides.
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. The clerk will state the resolution 
by title.
  The assistant legislative clerk read as follows:

       A resolution (S. Res. 26) making majority party 
     appointments to the Governmental Affairs Committee for the 
     104th Congress.

  Mr. COCHRAN. Mr. President, I know of no controversy surrounding the 
resolution.
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. Without objection, the resolution 
is agreed to.
  The resolution (S. Res. 26) was agreed to as follows:

       Resolved, That the following shall constitute the majority 
     party's membership on the following standing committee for 
     the 104th Congress, or until their successors are chosen:
       Committee on Governmental Affairs: Mr. Roth, Mr. Stevens, 
     Mr. Cohen, Mr. Thompson, Mr. Cochran, Mr. Grassley, Mr. 
     McCain, and Mr. Smith.

  Mr. COCHRAN. Mr. President, for clarification and explanation to the 
Senate, the resolution will permit the Governmental Affairs Committee, 
which is conducting a hearing this morning on the unfunded mandates 
legislation to proceed with that hearing while the Senate is in 
session. We hope that hearing will enable us to bring that legislation 
to the floor as soon as possible after the disposition of the 
congressional coverage bill, which we discussed earlier in the 
announcement.
