  Mr. LOTT. Mr. President, I send a joint resolution to the desk and 
ask for its first reading.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will report.
  The assistant legislative clerk read as follows:

       A joint resolution (S.J. Res. 22) to express the sense of 
     the Congress concerning the application by the Attorney

     investigate allegations of the illegal fundraising in the
