                  MEASURE PLACED ON CALENDAR--S. 1427

  Mr. GORTON. Mr. President, I understand there is a bill at the desk 
due for its second reading.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will state the bill.
  The legislative clerk read as follows:

       A bill (S. 1427) to authorize the Attorney General to 
     appoint a special counsel to investigate or prosecute a 
     person for a possible violation of criminal law when the 
     Attorney General determines that the appointment of a special 
     counsel is in the public interest.

  Mr. GORTON. I object to further proceedings on this bill at this 
time.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The bill will be placed on the calendar.

                          ____________________
