               PROHIBITION ON FUNDS FOR BOSNIA DEPLOYMENT

  Mr. COHEN. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the Foreign 
Relations Committee be discharged from further consideration of H.R. 
2606, involving the use of funds for troops in Bosnia, and that the 
Senate now turn to its immediate consideration, with no amendments in 
order to the bill or motions to commit or recommit.

  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  The clerk will report.
  The legislative clerk read as follows:

       A bill (H.R. 2606) to prohibit the use of funds 
     appropriated to the Department of Defense from being used for 
     the deployment on the ground of United States Armed Forces in 
     the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina as part of any 
     peacekeeping operation, or as part of any implementation 
     force, unless funds for such deployment are specifically 
     appropriated by law.

  The Senate proceeded to consider the bill.
  Mr. COHEN. Mr. President, I further ask unanimous consent that the 
bill be advanced to third reading and that final passage occur at 12:30 
p.m., on Wednesday, December 13, with paragraph 4 of rule XII being 
waived.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  Mr. COHEN. Mr. President, I further ask unanimous consent that at 9 
a.m., Wednesday, H.R. 2606 be immediately laid aside, that the Senate 
proceed to a Senate concurrent resolution to be submitted by Senators 
Hutchison, Inhofe, and others.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
