   HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION 353--ADJOURNMENT OF THE TWO HOUSES OF 
                                CONGRESS

  Mr. LOTT. Mr. President, I ask the Chair to lay before the Senate 
House Concurrent Resolution 353, the adjournment resolution.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will report.
  The legislative clerk read as follows:

       A concurrent resolution (H. Con. Res. 353) providing for 
     the sine die adjournment of the Second Session of the One 
     Hundred Fifth Congress.

  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The question is on agreeing to the concurrent 
resolution, which is nondebatable.
  The concurrent resolution (H. Con. Res. 353) was agreed to as 
follows:

                            H. Con. Res. 353

       Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate 
     concurring), That when the House adjourns on the legislative 
     day of Wednesday, October 21, 1998, or Thursday, October 22, 
     1998, on a motion offered pursuant to this concurrent 
     resolution by its 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, or until a time designated 
     pursuant to section 3 of this resolution; and that when the 
     Senate adjourns on Wednesday, October 21, 1998, or Thursday, 
     October 22, 1998, on a motion offered pursuant to this 
     concurrent resolution by its 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 the Senate, 
     respectively, to reassemble whenever, in their opinion, the 
     public interest shall warrant it.
       Sec. 3. During any adjournment of the House pursuant to 
     this concurrent resolution, the Speaker, acting after 
     consultation with the Minority Leader, may notify the Members 
     of the House to reassemble whenever, in his opinion, the 
     public interest shall warrant it. After reassembling pursuant 
     to this section, when the House adjourns on any day on a 
     motion offered pursuant to this section by its Majority 
     Leader or his designee, the House shall again stand adjourned 
     pursuant to the first section of this concurrent resolution.

  Several Senators addressed the Chair.
  Mr. LOTT. Mr. President, will the Senator withhold one second, for 
one more unanimous consent request?
