                 PROVIDING FOR EMERGENCY DROUGHT RELIEF

  Mr. LOTT. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the Energy 
Committee be discharged from further consideration of H.R. 3910 with 
regard to drought relief for Corpus Christi and, further, that the 
Senate proceed to its consideration.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will report.
  The legislative clerk read as follows:

       A bill (H.R. 3910) to provide emergency drought relief to 
     the city of Corpus Christi, Texas, and the Canadian River 
     Municipal Water Authority, Texas, and for other purposes.

  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection to the immediate 
consideration of the bill?
  There being no objection, the Senate proceeded to consider the bill.
  Mr. LOTT. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the bill be 
deemed read a third time, passed, the motion to reconsider be laid upon 
the table, and any statements relating to the bill appear at the 
appropriate place in the Record.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  The bill (H.R. 3910) was deemed read the third time and passed.
  Mr. LOTT. Finally, I believe, Mr. President--not finally, others are 
coming. Agreements are wonderful. We keep reaching them right up to the 
end here.
