                             CLOTURE MOTION

  Mr. LOTT. Mr. President, I send a cloture motion to the desk.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The cloture motion having been presented under 
rule XXII, the Chair directs the clerk to read the motion.
  The bill clerk read as follows:

                             Cloture Motion

       We, the undersigned Senators, in accordance with the 
     provisions of rule XXII of the Standing Rules of the Senate, 
     do hereby move to bring to a close debate on the conference 
     report to accompany H.R. 2546, the D.C. appropriations bill:
         Trent Lott, Jim Jeffords, Dan Coats, Larry E. Craig, Paul 
           D. Coverdell, Conrad Burns, Pete V. Domenici, Jon Kyl, 
           John Ashcroft, Slade Gorton, Spencer Abraham, Craig 
           Thomas, Mark O. Hatfield, C.S. Bond, P. Gramm, Don 
           Nickles.

  Mr. LOTT. Mr. President, I wish to inform all Members that there will 
be a vote on this cloture motion next Tuesday. No exact time has been 
agreed to yet, but I expect it will fall sometime shortly after the 
vote, I believe at 2:15, on the Cuba legislation on Tuesday. But it 
will occur sometime Tuesday afternoon.
  I yield the floor.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Who seeks recognition?
  Mr. LOTT. Mr. President, I suggest the absence of a quorum.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will call the roll.
  The bill clerk proceeded to call the roll.
  Mr. D'AMATO. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the order 
for the quorum call be rescinded.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.


                       Unanimous-Consent Request

  Mr. D'AMATO. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the Senate 

[[Page S1408]]
  now turn to a resolution extending the Special Committee To Investigate 
Whitewater Development Corporation.
  I ask for its consideration under the following agreement: 2 hours to 
be equally divided in the usual form, and that no amendments be in 
order, other than one amendment to be offered by Senator Daschle, or 
his designee, limited to 1 hour equally divided.
  Further, I ask that following the debate on the amendment and 
resolution, the Senate proceed to vote on the amendment, and 
immediately following that vote, that the resolution be advanced to 
third reading and passage to occur immediately without further action 
or debate.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection?
  Mr. DASCHLE. Mr. President, I object.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Objection is heard.
  Mr. D'AMATO. Mr. President, in light of the objection, I make the 
same request for the legislation to be the pending business on Friday, 
March 1, at 10:30 a.m., under the same restraints as the previous 
consent agreement.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection?
  Mr. DASCHLE. I object.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Objection is heard.
