               RELATIVE TO THE DEATH OF CONRAD RAY BURNS

  Mr. McCONNELL. Mr. President, Elaine and I were saddened by the 
passing of Conrad Burns last month. Senator Burns was a big personality 
from a big State. He will certainly be missed by those who had the 
opportunity to know him.
  Our thoughts were with Phyllis and the Burns family then, and they 
remain with Phyllis and the Burns family today.
  The Senate remembers this former colleague.
  Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the Senate proceed to the 
consideration of S. Res. 457, submitted earlier today.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will report the resolution by title.
  The senior assistant legislative clerk read as follows:

       A resolution (S. Res. 457) relative to the death of Conrad 
     Ray Burns, former United States Senator for the State of 
     Montana.

  There being no objection, the Senate proceeded to consider the 
resolution.
  Mr. McCONNELL. I ask unanimous consent that the resolution be agreed 
to, the preamble be agreed to, and the motions to reconsider be 
considered made and laid upon the table with no intervening action or 
debate.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  The resolution (S. Res. 457) was agreed to.
  The preamble was agreed to.
  (The resolution, with its preamble, is printed in today's Record 
under ``Submitted Resolutions.'')
