                            PASSAGE OF S. 4

  Mr. McCONNELL. Mr. President, let me echo the remarks of the majority 
leader. We are hoping we can get a number of amendments handled in the 
course of today's business. This is a measure that--even though it is 
at the moment flawed--has a chance of getting better in conference and 
preventing a Presidential veto. It certainly is not the view of this 
side that we want to prevent passage of this bill, once we have gotten 
an adequate number of amendments disposed of that have been offered on 
this side. I think we can work out some way to wrap up this bill 
sometime in the near future.
  I yield the floor.
