               AUTHORIZING SENATE COMMITTEE EXPENDITURES

  Mr. THOMAS. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the Senate 
proceed to the immediate consideration of S. Res. 38 submitted by 
Senators McConnell and Dodd.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will report.
  The legislative clerk read as follows:

       A resolution (S. Res. 38) to waive the Standing Rules of 
     the Senate in order to permit a resolution authorizing Senate 
     committee expenditures for the period March 1, 1999 through 
     September 30, 1999.

  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. THOMAS. I ask unanimous consent that 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. 38) was agreed to, as follows:

                               S. Res. 38

       Resolved, That, notwithstanding paragraph 9 of rule XXVI of 
     the Standing Rules of the Senate, the Committee on Rules and 
     Administration is authorized to report a continuing 
     resolution authorizing Senate committee expenditures for the 
     period March 1, 1999 through September 30, 1999.

  Mr. THOMAS. Mr. President, unanimous consents work well when no one 
is here.
