              UNANIMOUS-CONSENT AGREEMENT--START II TREATY

  Mr. DOLE. Mr. President, I further ask unanimous consent that 
immediately following the two votes, the Senate proceed to executive 
session to begin consideration of the START II Treaty.
  Let me indicate with reference to that, there has been ongoing work 
that I have been indirectly involved in, in the past several days, to 
reach some agreement on START II. As I understand, there were seven or 
eight different issues that have been resolved. They are very close to 
getting agreement. If that happens, it should not take too long to 
dispose of the START II treaty.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection? Without objection, it is 
so ordered.
  Mr. DASCHLE addressed the Chair.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The minority leader.
