  INSTRUCTING MANAGERS IN THE IMPEACHMENT OF JUDGE KENT TO ADVISE THE 
 SENATE THAT THE HOUSE DOES NOT DESIRE FURTHER TO URGE THE ARTICLES OF 
                              IMPEACHMENT

  Mr. JOHNSON of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent to send 
to the desk a resolution and ask for its immediate consideration in the 
House.
  The Clerk read the title of the resolution.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the 
gentleman from Georgia?
  There was no objection.
  The text of the resolution is as follows:.

                              H. Res. 661

       Resolved, That the managers on the part of the House of 
     Representatives in the impeachment proceedings now pending in 
     the Senate against Samuel B. Kent, formerly judge of the 
     United States District Court for the Southern District of 
     Texas, are instructed to appear before the Senate, sitting as 
     a court of impeachment for those proceedings, and advise the 
     Senate that, because Samuel B. Kent is no longer a civil 
     officer of the United States, the House of Representatives 
     does not desire further to urge the articles of impeachment 
     hitherto filed in the Senate against Samuel B. Kent.

  The resolution was agreed to.
  A motion to reconsider was laid on the table.
