                                TREATIES

  Mr. DeWINE. Mr. President, on behalf of the majority leader of the 
Senate, I ask unanimous consent that the Senate proceed to executive 
session to consider the following treaties on today's executive 
calendar: Numbers 24 through 54.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  Mr. DeWINE. Mr. President, I further ask unanimous consent that the 
treaties be considered as having passed through their various 
parliamentary stages up to and including the presentation of the 
resolution of ratification, that all committee provisos, reservations, 
understandings, and declarations be considered agreed to.
  I further ask that two technical amendments that are at the desk to 
treaty documents 105-34 and 104-40 be considered as agreed to, that any 
statements be inserted in the Congressional Record as if read.
  I further ask that there be one vote to count as individual votes on 
each of the treaties, and further, when the resolutions of ratification 
are voted upon, the motions to reconsider be laid upon the table, that 
the President then be notified of the Senate's action, and following 
the disposition of the treaties, the Senate return to legislative 
session.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  The amendments read as follows:
