      AUTHORIZING TRANSFER OF THE CATAFALQUE TO THE SUPREME COURT

  Mr. BOEHNER. Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent to take from the 
Speaker's table the Senate concurrent resolution (S. Con. Res. 18) 
authorizing the Architect of the Capitol to transfer the catafalque to 
the Supreme Court for a funeral service, and ask for its immediate 
consideration in the House.
  The Clerk read the title of the Senate concurrent resolution.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the 
gentleman from Ohio?
  There was no objection.
  The Clerk read the Senate concurrent resolution, 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.

  The Senate concurrent resolution was concurred in.
  A motion to reconsider was laid on the table.
