 SENATE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION 34--TO AUTHORIZE THE PRINTING OF ``VICE 
              PRESIDENTS OF THE UNITED STATES, 1789-1993''

  Mr. BYRD submitted the following concurrent resolution; which was 
referred to the Committee on Rules and Administration:

                            S. Con. Res. 34

       Whereas the United States Constitution provides that the 
     Vice President of the United States shall serve as President 
     of the Senate; and
     
[[Page S 18103]]

       Whereas the careers of the 44 Americans who held that post 
     during the years 1789 through 1993 richly illustrate the 
     development of the nation and its government; and
       Whereas the vice presidency, traditionally the least 
     understood and most often ignored constitutional office in 
     the Federal Government, deserves wider attention: Now, 
     therefore, be it
       Resolved by the Senate (the House of Representatives 
     concurring),

                   STATES, 1789-1993''.
