just been received from the House of Representatives.

     use of the Capitol Grounds for the Washington for Jesus 1996 
     prayer rally.

  Mr. WARNER. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the 
concurrent resolution be considered and agreed to and the motion to 
reconsider be laid upon the table.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.

  The preamble was agreed to.
  Mr. WARNER. Mr. President, I thank the distinguished ranking member 
of the Rules Committee, Mr. Ford. I raise this matter in my capacity as 
chairman of the Rules Committee. We did not have time, given the nature 
of the schedule, to take it up in the Rules Committee but both sides 
have cleared this.
  I also thank the distinguished majority leader and the Senator from 
Missouri, [Mr. Ashcroft], for their cooperation and support.
