                 DEATH OF THE HONORABLE BARRY GOLDWATER

  Mr. McCAIN. I ask unanimous consent that the Senate proceed to the 
immediate consideration of S. Res. 241, which was submitted earlier 
today.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will report the resolution.
  The bill clerk read as follows:

       A resolution (S. Res. 241) relative to the death of the 
     Honorable Barry Goldwater, formally a Senator from the State 
     of Arizona.
       Resolved, That the Senate has heard with profound sorrow 
     and deep regret the announcement of the death of the 
     Honorable Barry Goldwater, formerly a Senator from the State 
     of Arizona.
       Resolved, That the Secretary of the Senate communicate 
     these resolutions to the House of Representatives and 
     transmit an enrolled copy thereof to the family of the 
     deceased.
       Resolved, That when the Senate recesses today, it stand 
     recessed as a further mark of respect to the memory of the 
     deceased Senator.

  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection to the immediate 
consideration of the resolution?
  There being no objection, the Senate proceeded to consider the 
resolution.
  Mr. McCAIN. I yield to the Senator from Virginia.
  Mr. WARNER. I wish to commend my distinguished friend and colleague 
for this resolution, and I ask that I be listed as a cosponsor.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  Mr. WARNER. I had the privilege of serving with the distinguished 
Senator Goldwater for many years and worked with him diligently these 
years as an understudy, if I may say with great humility, on the Armed 
Services Committee. He was truly a man who left a profound impact on 
this humble Senator, as he did many others.
  I wish to commend my colleague from Arizona.
  Mr. McCAIN. I want to thank my friend from Virginia concerning his 
kind remarks.
  I know that Senator Goldwater considered Senator Warner of Virginia 
one of his dear and close friends. As I have remarked on several 
occasions, the Goldwater-Nichols Act was the product of many 
individuals, but the Senator from Virginia played a key role in 
assisting Senator Goldwater in the completion of legislation that 
played a major role in our victory in Operation Desert Storm.
  Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent the resolution be agreed to 
and the motion to reconsider be laid upon the table.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  The resolution (S. Res. 241) was agreed to.
