                           SENATE GIFT REFORM

  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will report the resolution.
  The bill clerk read as follows:

       A resolution (S. Res. 158) to provide for Senate gift 
     reform.

  The Senate proceeded to consider the resolution.
  Mr. McCAIN. Madam President, I ask for the yeas and nays.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there a sufficient second?
  There is a sufficient second.
  The yeas and nays were ordered.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The question is on agreeing to the resolution.
  Mr. DOLE addressed the Chair.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The majority leader is recognized.
  Mr. DOLE. I congratulate all of my colleagues involved in these 
negotiations. I think we have a good bill, one that we can be proud of, 
that has been brought about by bipartisan consensus and negotiation. I 
think this is one issue we want to get behind us. We have done that 
with what I think will be a unanimous vote. We promised to complete 
this action by today, and we have done that. We have also taken care of 
lobbying reform. I thank the Senator from Michigan, the Senator from 
Arizona, the Senator from Wisconsin, the Senator from Kentucky, Senator 
Breaux, Senator Wellstone, Senator Johnston, Senator Feingold, and many 
others who have been involved directly. It is always more difficult 
when it affects us. In my view, we have a good result and one that 
ought to be supported by everyone.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The question is on agreeing to Senate 
resolution 158.
  The yeas and nays have been ordered.
  The clerk will call the roll.
  The assistant legislative clerk called the roll.
  Mr. LOTT. I announce that the Senator from Oklahoma [Mr. Inhofe] and 
the Senator from Alaska [Mr. Murkowski] are necessarily absent.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Are there any other Senators in the Chamber 
desiring to vote?
  The result was announced--yeas 98, nays 0, as follows:
                      [Rollcall Vote No. 342 Leg.]
