           ELECTING DAVID SCHIAPPA SECRETARY FOR THE MINORITY

  Mr. LOTT. Now, we make a first attempt to name a successor, and that 
will be a difficult task. So I send a resolution to the desk and ask 
for its immediate consideration.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. Carper). The clerk will report the 
resolution.
  The legislative clerk read as follows:

       A resolution (S. Res. 155) electing Dave Schiappa of 
     Maryland as secretary for the minority of the Senate.

  There being no objection, the Senate proceeded to consider the 
resolution.
  Mr. LOTT. 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. 155) was agreed to.
  (The resolution is printed in today's Record under ``Statements on 
Submitted Resolutions.'')
  Mr. LOTT. Good luck, Dave; you are going to need it. I yield the 
floor.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Vermont.
  Mr. JEFFORDS. Mr. President, I ask to proceed as in morning business.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator is recognized.
