             PROVIDING FOR AN ADJOURNMENT OF THE TWO HOUSES

  Mr. THURMOND. Madam President, I ask unanimous consent that the 
Senate now turn to the consideration of House Concurrent Resolution 
192, the adjournment resolution, which was just received from the 
House; further, that the resolution be agreed to and the motion to 
reconsider be laid upon the table.
  Mr. FORD. Madam President, reserving the right to object, I 
understand that this is the adjournment resolution; that the House is 
anxious to get out, and that is fine. But this resolution allows us to 
get out Thursday night, Friday night, Saturday night or Sunday night 
and then come back on July 8 sometime after noon, based on the time set 
out by the majority leader later in the day?
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. That is correct.
  Mr. THURMOND. Madam President, it is my understanding, this will give 
us enough time to finish this bill.
  Mr. FORD. Through Sunday. I thank the Chair.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  The concurrent resolution (H. Con. Res. 192) was agreed to, as 
follows:

                            H. Con. Res. 192

     days of Thursday, June 27, 1996, or Friday, June 28, 1996, 
     pursuant to a motion made by the Majority Leader or his 
     designee, it stand adjourned until noon on Monday, July 8, 
     1996, or until noon on the second day after members are 
     notified to reassemble pursuant to section 2 of this 
     concurrent resolution, whichever occurs first; and that when 
     the Senate recesses or adjourns at the close of business on 
     Thursday, June 27, 1996, Friday, June 28, 1996, Saturday, 
     June 29, 1996, or Sunday, June 30, 1996, pursuant to a motion

     until such time on that day as may be specified by the

     adjourn, or until noon on the second day after Members are 
     notified to reassemble pursuant to section 2 of this 
     concurrent resolution, whichever occurs first.
       Sec. 2. The Speaker of the House and the Majority Leader of 
     the Senate, acting jointly after consultation with the 
     Minority Leader of the House and the Minority Leader of the 
     Senate, shall notify the Members of the House and Senate, 
     respectively, to reassemble whenever, in their opinion, the 
     public interest shall warrant it.

  Mr. THURMOND. Madam President, I yield the floor.
  Mr. BRYAN addressed the Chair.
