                      USE OF JEFFERSON DAVIS' DESK

  Mr. GORTON. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the Senate 
proceed to the immediate consideration of Senate Resolution 161, 
submitted earlier today by Senators Cochran and Lott.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will report.
  The legislative clerk read as follows:

       A resolution (S. Res. 161) to make available to the senior 
     Senator from Mississippi, during his or her term of office, 
     the use of the desk located in the Senate Chamber and used by 
     Senator Jefferson Davis.

  Mr. GORTON. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the 
resolution be considered and agreed to; that the motion to reconsider 
be laid upon the table; and that any statements relating to the 
resolution appear at the appropriate place in the Record.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  So the resolution (S. Res. 161) was agreed to, as follows:

       Resolved, That during the One hundred fourth Congress and 
     each Congress thereafter, the desk located within the Senate 
     Chamber and used by Senator Jefferson Davis shall, at the 
     request of the senior Senator from the State of Mississippi, 
     be assigned to such Senator, for use in carrying out his or 
     her Senatorial duties during that Senator's term of office.
