  SA 1234. Mr. SESSIONS submitted an amendment intended to be proposed 
to amendment SA 1221 proposed by Mr. Hatch to the bill H.R. 1314, to 
amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to provide for a right to an 
administrative appeal relating to adverse determinations of tax-exempt 
status of certain organizations; which was ordered to lie on the table; 
as follows:

       On page 100, between lines 20 and 21, insert the following:
       (7) Limitation on immigration provisions.--Notwithstanding 
     any other provision of law, section 103(b)(3) of this Act and 
     section 151 of the Trade Act of 1974 (19 U.S.C. 2191) 
     (relating to trade authorities procedures) shall not apply to 
     any bill implementing a trade agreement between the United 
     States and any other country if the trade agreement or the 
     implementing bill contains any provision relating to the 
     immigration laws of the United States or the entry of aliens 
     into the United States.
       (8) Point of order in senate.--
       (A) In general.--When the Senate is considering an 
     implementing bill, upon a point of order being made by any 
     Senator against any part of the implementing bill or trade 
     agreement that contains material in violation of paragraph 
     (7), and the point of order is sustained by the Presiding 
     Officer, the Senate shall cease consideration of the 
     implementing bill under the trade authorities procedures 
     referred to in section 103(b)(3) of this Act or set forth in 
     section 151 of the Trade Act of 1974 (19 U.S.C. 2191).
       (B) Waivers and appeals.--
       (i) Waivers.--Before the Presiding Officer rules on a point 
     of order described in subparagraph (A), any Senator may move 
     to waive the point of order and the motion to waive shall not 
     be subject to amendment. A point of order described in 
     subparagraph (A) is waived only by the affirmative vote of 60 
     Members of the Senate, duly chosen and sworn.
       (ii) Appeals.--After the Presiding Officer rules on a point 
     of order under this subparagraph, any Senator may appeal the 
     ruling of the Presiding Officer on the point of order as it 
     applies to some or all of the provisions on which the 
     Presiding Officer ruled. A ruling of the Presiding Officer on 
     a point of order described in subparagraph (A) is sustained 
     unless a majority of the Members of the Senate, duly chosen 
     and sworn, vote not to sustain the ruling.
       (iii) Debate.--Debate on a motion to waive under clause (i) 
     or on an appeal of the ruling of the Presiding Officer under 
     clause (ii) shall be limited to 1 hour, which shall be 
     equally divided between, and controlled by, the Majority 
     Leader and the Minority Leader of the Senate, or their 
     designees.
                                 ______
