                      UNANIMOUS CONSENT AGREEMENT

  Mr. GORTON. Mr. President, I withdraw the formal text of the 
unanimous consent request by the majority leader, and I will reread it 
so it is grammatically correct.
  I ask consent that the Senate turn to the House Interior bill and, 
immediately following the reporting by the clerk, Senator Gorton be 
recognized to offer the text of the Senate-reported bill, as modified, 
to strike page 116, lines 3 through 7; page 129, line 18 through page 
132, line 20, as an amendment to the House bill. I further ask consent 
that the amendment be agreed to and the bill as thus amended be 
considered original text for the purpose of further amendment and that 
any legislative provision added thereby may nonetheless be subject to a 
point of order under rule XVI.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
