  THE PRINTING OF ``VICE PRESIDENTS OF THE UNITED STATES, 1789-1993''

  Mr. SANTORUM. I ask unanimous consent that the Senate proceed to the 
immediate consideration of Calendar No. 273, Senate Concurrent 
Resolution 34.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will report.
  The assistant legislative clerk read as follows:

       A concurrent resolution (S. Con. Res. 34) to authorize the 
     printing of ``Vice Presidents of the United States 1789-
     1993.''

  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection to the immediate 
consideration of the concurrent resolution?
  There being no objection, the Senate proceeded to consider the 
concurrent resolution, which had been reported from the Committee on 
Rules and Administration with an amendment, as follows:
  [The part intended to be stricken is shown in brackets, the part to 
be inserted in italic.]

                            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
       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''.
