  SA 33. Mr. SULLIVAN submitted an amendment intended to be proposed by 
him to the bill S. 316, to repeal the authorizations for use of 
military force against Iraq; which was ordered to lie on the table; as 
follows:

       Strike section 2 and insert the following:

     SEC. 2. REPEAL OF AUTHORIZATION FOR USE OF MILITARY FORCE 
                   AGAINST IRAQ RESOLUTION OF 2022.

       The Authorization for Use of Military Force Against Iraq 
     Resolution of 2002 (Public Law 107-243; 116 Stat. 1498; 50 
     U.S.C. 1541 note) is hereby repealed 30 days after the 
     Director of National Intelligence certifies in an 
     intelligence assessment to Congress that repeal will not 
     degrade the effectiveness of United States-led deterrence 
     against Iranian aggression.

     SEC. 3. RULE OF CONSTRUCTION REGARDING ABILITY TO COUNTER 
                   ATTACKS BY IRAN AND ITS PROXY FORCES.

       Nothing in this Act shall be construed to restrict the 
     ability of the United States to respond rapidly and 
     decisively to threats by the Government of Iran or its proxy 
     forces against United States facilities or persons, or those 
     of United States allies and partners, as appropriate under 
     the authorities provided to the President in Article II of 
     the Constitution.
                                 ______
