             AUTHORIZATION TO THE ARCHITECT OF THE CAPITOL

  Mr. DOLE. Mr. President, at this time, on behalf of myself and 
Senator Daschle, I send a concurrent resolution to the desk and ask for 
its immediate consideration.
  This resolution authorizes the removal of the catafalque from the 
Capitol to the Supreme Court where Chief Justice Burger's casket will 
lie in state.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will report the concurrent 
resolution by title.
  The legislative clerk read as follows:

       A concurrent resolution (S. Con. Res. 18) authorizing the 
     Architect of the Capitol to transfer the catafalque to the 
     Supreme Court for a funeral service.

  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, the concurrent resolution 
is agreed to.
  So the concurrent resolution (S. Con. Res. 18) was agreed to, as 
follows:

                            S. Con. Res. 18

       Resolved by the Senate (the House of Representatives 
     concurring), That the Architect of the Capitol is authorized 
     and directed to transfer to the custody of the Chief Justice 
     of the United States the catafalque which is presently 
     situated in the crypt beneath the rotunda of the Capitol so 
     that the said catafalque may be used in the Supreme Court 
     Building in connection with services to be conducted there 
     for the late Honorable Warren Burger, former Chief Justice of 
     the Supreme Court of the United States.
