  Mr. EXON. So, with those comments, Mr. President, I send an amendment 
to the desk in the second degree and ask for its immediate 
consideration.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will report.
  The assistant legislative clerk read as follows:

       The Senator from Nebraska [Mr. Exon] for Mrs. Murray 
     proposes an amendment numbered 1827 to amendment No. 1825,
       Strike all after the first word and insert: ``None of the 
     funds made available in this Act may be used for any program 
     for the selection of Federal Government contractors when such 
     program results in the award of Federal contracts to 
     unqualified persons, in reverse discrimination, or in quotas, 
     or is inconsistent with the decision of the Supreme Court of 
     the United States in Aderand Constructors, Inc. v. Pena on 
     June 12, 1995. This section shall be effective one day after 
     enactment.''

  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Texas.
  Mr. GRAMM. Mr. President, I suggest the absence of a quorum.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will call the roll.
  The assistant legislative clerk proceeded to call the roll.
  Mrs. HUTCHISON. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the order 
for the quorum call be rescinded.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
