     UNANIMOUS-CONSENT AGREEMENT--SHORT-TERM CONTINUING RESOLUTION

  Mr. LOTT. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that when the Senate 
receives from the House the short-term continuing resolution--and it is 
the identical text of what I now send to the desk--the legislation be 
deemed agreed to and the motion to reconsider be laid upon the table.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  Mr. LOTT. Thank you, Mr. President.
  Mr. DOMENICI. I want to ask a question of the acting majority leader.
  Mr. President, I ask the distinguished acting majority leader, on the 
calendar that we had previously agreed to on Monday, we were to take up 
as the first order of business the Grazing Reform Act. It was 
prescribed to be on the floor Monday and Tuesday. Might I ask, is it 
the intention of the leadership that we proceed to that immediately 
after the business which has just been described?
  Mr. LOTT. It would be our intention, I say to the Senator from New 
Mexico, to proceed to that issue when this other is considered.
  Mr. DOMENICI. I thank the Senator.
  Mr. LOTT. Mr. President, I delightfully yield the floor.
  Mr. NICKLES. Mr. President, I suggest the absence of a quorum.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will call the roll.
  The legislative clerk proceeded to call the roll.

  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
