             MAKING FURTHER CONTINUING APPROPRIATIONS, 1998

  Mr. LOTT. We do have the continuing resolution and so I would just 
like to take 1 minute and go ahead and move that.
  I ask unanimous consent that the Senate now turn to House Joint 
Resolution 105 making continuing appropriations through Friday, 
November 14; that the joint resolution be considered read the third 
time and passed and the motion to reconsider be laid upon the table, 
all without further action or debate.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection? The Chair hears none, and 
it is so ordered.
  The joint resolution (H.J. Res. 105) was considered read the third 
time and passed.
  Mr. LOTT. I yield the floor.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from the State of Alaska.
  Mr. MURKOWSKI. Mr. President, I believe we are in a period of morning 
business?
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. That is correct. The Senator has up to 10 
minutes to speak.
  Mr. MURKOWSKI. I thank the Chair.
