                 REPORT OF THE SECRETARY OF THE SENATE

  The PRESIDING OFFICER laid before the Senate the following letter 
from the Secretary of the Senate, which was ordered to lie on the 
table:

       Dear Mr. President: On Tuesday, January 5, 2021, the 
     President of the United States sent by messenger the attached 
     sealed envelope addressed to the President of the Senate 
     dated January 5, 2021, said to contain a message regarding 
     additional steps addressing the threat posed by applications 
     and other software developed or controlled by Chinese 
     companies. The Senate not being in session on the day which 
     the President delivered this message, I accepted the message 
     at 5:00 p.m., and I now present to you the President's 
     message, with the accompanying papers, for disposition by the 
     Senate.
           Respectfully,
                                                   Julie A. Adams,
                                          Secretary of the Senate.

  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Iowa.
