UNANIMOUS CONSENT AGREEMENT--S. 1280
Mr. REID. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the amendment
to the title of S. 1280 be engrossed, set out in the heading of
amendment No. 668, be considered to have been proposed and adopted as
such.
The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
Mr. REID. Mr. President, the amendment to the title of S. 1280, as
engrossed by the Senate was set out only in the heading of amendment
No. 668, the substitute for the bill, and not in the text of amendment
No. 668. It was not properly drafted as an amendment to the title of
the bill. Unlike properly drafted title amendments, amendment headings
are not printed in the Congressional Record, nor are they contained in
online computer records. Therefore, this title amendment is first
present in the engrossed Senate bill and is not otherwise reproduced as
part of the legislative history of the bill. To clarify the Senate's
intention to amend this title, the Senate agreed to this unanimous
consent request.
