 ADJOURNMENT SINE DIE OF FIRST SESSSION OF ONE HUNDRED FIFTH CONGRESS 
                                CONGRESS

  The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mr. LaHood). The Chair lays before the House 
a Senate concurrent resolution (S. Con. Res. 68) to adjourn sine die 
the First Session of the One Hundred Fifth Congress, as a question of 
the privileges of the House.
  The Clerk read the Senate Concurrent Resolution, as follows:

                            S. Con. Res. 68

       Resolved by the Senate (the House of Representatives 
     concurring), That when the House adjourns on the legislative 
     day of Thursday, November 13, 1997, or Friday, November 14, 
     1997, on a motion offered pursuant to this concurrent 
     resolution by the Majority Leader or his designee, it stand 
     adjourned sine die, or until noon on the second day after 
     Members are notified to reassemble pursuant to section 2 of 
     this concurrent resolution, and that when the Senate adjourns 
     on Thursday, November 13, 1997, or Friday, November 14, 1997, 
     on a motion offered pursuant to this concurrent resolution by 
     the Majority Leader or his designee, it stand adjourned sine 
     die, or until noon on the second day after Members are 
     notified to reassemble pursuant to section 2 of this 
     concurrent resolution.
       Sec. 2. The Speaker of the House and the Majority Leader of 
     the Senate, acting jointly after consultation with the 
     Minority Leader of the House and the Minority Leader of the 
     Senate, shall notify the Members of the House and Senate, 
     respectively, to reassemble whenever, in their opinion, the 
     public interest shall warrant it.
       Sec. 3. The Congress declares that clause 5 of rule III of 
     the Rules of the House of Representatives and the order of 
     the Senate of January 7, 1997, authorize for the duration of 
     the One Hundred Fifth Congress the Clerk of the House of 
     Representatives and the Secretary of the Senate, 
     respectively: To receive messages from the President during 
     periods when the House and Senate are not in session and 
     thereby preserve until adjournment sine die of the final 
     regular session of the One Hundred Fifth Congress the 
     constitutional prerogative of the House and Senate to 
     reconsider vetoed measures in light of the objections of the 
     President, since the availability of the Clerk and the 
     Secretary during any earlier adjournment of either House 
     during the current Congress does not prevent the return by 
     the President of any bill presented to him for approval.
       Sec. 4. The Clerk of the House of Representatives shall 
     inform the President of the United States of the adoption of 
     this concurrent resolution.

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the Senate concurrent 
resolution.
  The question was taken; and the Speaker pro tempore announced that 
the ayes appeared to have it.
  Mr. GEPHARDT. Mr. Speaker, on that, I demand the yeas and nays.
  The yeas and nays were ordered.
  The vote was taken by electronic device, and there were--yeas 205, 
nays 193, not voting 34, as follows:
