          CHILD SUPPORT PERFORMANCE AND INCENTIVE ACT OF 1998

  Mr. McCAIN. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the Chair lay 
before the Senate a message from the House of Representatives to 
accompanying H.R. 3130.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER laid before the Senate a message from the House 
of Representatives announcing its disagreement to the amendments of the 
Senate to the bill (H.R. 3130) entitled ``An Act to provide for an 
alternative penalty procedure for States that fail to meet Federal 
child support data processing requirements, to reform Federal incentive 
payments for effective child support performance, to provide for a more 
flexible penalty procedure for States that violate interjurisdictional 
adoption requirements, to amend the Immigration and Nationality Act to 
make certain aliens determined to be delinquent in the payment of child 
support inadmissible and ineligible for naturalization, and for other 
purposes'', and ask a conference with the Senate on the disagreeing 
votes of the two Houses thereon.

  Mr. McCAIN. I ask unanimous consent that the Senate insist on its 
amendments, agree to the request for a conference, and the Chair be 
authorized to appoint conferees on the part of the Senate.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  The Presiding Officer appointed from the Committee on Finance, 
Senators Roth, Chafee, Grassley, Moynihan and Baucus and from the 
Committee on Labor and Human Resources, Senators Jeffords, Coats and 
Kennedy conferees on the part of the Senate.
