 HONORING THE LIFE AND LEGACY OF ULYSSES S. GRANT IN COMMEMORATION OF 
                           HIS 200TH BIRTHDAY

  Mr. SCHUMER. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the Senate 
proceed to the immediate consideration of S. Con. Res. 36.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will report the concurrent 
resolution by title.
  The senior assistant legislative clerk read as follows:

       A concurrent resolution (S. Con. Res. 36) honoring the life 
     and legacy of Ulysses S. Grant in commemoration of his 200th 
     Birthday.

  There being no objection, the Senate proceeded to consider the 
concurrent resolution.
  Mr. SCHUMER. I ask unanimous consent that the concurrent 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 concurrent resolution (S. Con. Res. 36) was agreed to.
  The preamble was agreed to.
  (The concurrent resolution, with its preamble, is printed in today's 
Record under ``Submitted Resolutions.'')
  Mr. SCHUMER. Mr. President, I am just going to say a word about this 
resolution.
  Ulysses Grant was an amazing human being. I became acquainted with 
him when I read the biography of Ulysses Grant written by Mr. Chernow, 
a Brooklyn resident, who was very eager for us to pass this. One of his 
crusades in life was to undo the smears against Ulysses Grant, often 
perpetrated by southern historians after we won the Civil War for the 
Union. And I commend to everybody Mr. Chernow's book. It is an amazing 
book.
