         100TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE DEATH OF HARRIET ROSS TUBMAN

  Mr. REID. I ask unanimous consent the Senate proceed to S. Res. 56.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will report the resolution by title.
  The legislative clerk read as follows:

       A resolution (S. Res. 56) recognizing the significance of 
     the 100th anniversary of the death of Harriet Ross Tubman.

  There being no objection, the Senate proceeded to consider the 
resolution.
  Mr. REID. I am going to ask unanimous consent that we pass this. 
First, I read a year and a half or 2 years ago two books about this 
woman, Harriet Tubman. Stunning. With all the movies being made about 
courageous, strong Americans, someone should make a movie about this 
woman. I mean it is just amazing what she was able to do. One little 
woman did so much to change what went on in America back at that time.
  I ask unanimous consent the resolution be agreed to, the preamble be 
agreed to, and the motions to reconsider be laid upon the table, with 
no intervening action or debate.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  The resolution (S. Res. 56) was agreed to.
  The preamble was agreed to.
  (The resolution, with its preamble, is printed in today's Record 
under ``Submitted Resolutions.'')
