resolution by title.
  The assistant legislative clerk read as follows:

       A concurrent resolution (H. Con. Res. 175) expressing the

     for a child of a deceased member of the Armed Forces who

     expression of clear intent of the member regarding the 
     distribution of funds on behalf of the child.

  There being no objection, the Senate proceeded to consider the 
concurrent resolution.

concurrent resolution be agreed to, the preamble be agreed to, and the 
motion to reconsider be laid upon the table, without intervening action 
or debate.
