         UNANIMOUS-CONSENT AGREEMENT--HOUSE MESSAGE ON H.R. 927

  Mr. LOTT. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the House 
message regarding H.R. 927 no longer be pending.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  Mr. LOTT. I must say, Mr. President, that that is unfortunate because 
this is an issue which passed the Senate on October 19 by an 
overwhelming vote, 74 to 24. There was a lot of discussion here about 
the position of the Senate being preserved. This is one where we are 
just trying to appoint conferees on an issue that passed, three-fifths 
of the Senators voting for it in a bipartisan vote, and now we are 
being told that there is opposition to appointing conferees to go to 
conference on a bill that has broad support. So it is our intention to 
renew this motion later but not tonight so that we will be able to go 
to morning business at this point.
