              NOTIFICATION TO THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

  Mr. LOTT. Mr. President, I send a resolution to the desk notifying 
the House that a quorum is present, ask that it be reported by title, 
agreed to, and the motion to reconsider be laid upon the table.
  The VICE PRESIDENT. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  Mr. LOTT. Before that is completed, Mr. President, for the 
information of all Senators, there are a number of traditional 
resolutions and unanimous consent requests that we will need to work 
through now. We have discussed these, and they have been cleared with 
the Democratic leader. There are a number of them. It will take some 
time. We do not at this time anticipate any recorded vote. I wanted the 
Senators to be aware of that.
  So I renew my request.
  The VICE PRESIDENT. Is there objection to the immediate consideration 
of the resolution?
  There being no objection, the resolution (S. Res. 1) was considered 
and agreed to, as follows:

                               S. Res. 1

       Resolved, That the Secretary inform the House of 
     Representatives that a quorum of the Senate is assembled and 
     that the Senate is ready to proceed to business.
