  The PRESIDING OFFICER. On this vote, the yeas are 93, the nays are 0. 
Three-fifths of the Senators duly chosen and sworn having voted in the 
affirmative, the motion is agreed to.
  Mr. D'AMATO addressed the Chair.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from New York.
  Mr. D'AMATO. Mr. President, I know that a number of my colleagues are 
on the floor who want to make statements. I see Senator Domenici is 
here, and he indicated to me that he wanted to speak for several 
minutes. I am wondering if my colleagues would agree to let Senator 
Domenici make his statement, and then I would like to address the vote 
that has just taken place. I am not going to spend too much time. If 
there is no objection, I will yield to Senator Domenici without losing 
my right to simply speak to this vote.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection?
  Without objection, it is so ordered.
  The Senator from New Mexico is recognized.
