         WITHDRAWAL OF REQUEST FOR SEQUENTIAL REFERRAL--S. 1718

  Mr. WARNER. Mr. President, on June 12, 1996, I requested sequential 
referral of S. 1718, the Intelligence Authorization Act for fiscal year 
1997, to the Committee on Rules and Administration upon its discharge 
from the Senate Committee on Governmental Affairs. The Rules Committee, 
which

has jurisdiction over legislation pertaining to Senate committee 
structure, desired an opportunity to consider a provision affecting the 
structure of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence.
  The chairman and ranking member of the Select Committee on 
Intelligence have advised me that when S. 1718 goes to the floor of the 
Senate, they will strike the provision related to the structure of that 
committee. Accordingly, I now withdraw my request for sequential 
referral of S. 1718. Thank you for your consideration in this matter.
