proceed to the immediate consideration of S. Res. 214 submitted earlier 
by Senators Lott and Daschle.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will report the resolution by title.
  The assistant legislative clerk read as follows:

       A resolution (S. Res. 214) authorizing the taking of 
     photographs in the Chamber of the U.S. Senate.

  There being no objection, the Senate proceeded to consider the 
resolution.
  Mr. HAGEL. I ask unanimous consent the resolution be agreed to and 
the motion to reconsider be laid upon the table.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  The resolution (S. Res. 214) was agreed to, as follows:

                              S. Res. 214

       Resolved, That paragraph 1 of rule IV of the Rules for the 
     Regulation of the Senate Wing of the United States Capitol 
     (prohibiting the taking of pictures in the Senate Chamber) be 
     temporarily suspended for the sole and specific purpose of 
     permitting photographs to be taken between the first and 
     second sessions of the 106th Congress in order to allow the 
     Senate Commission on Art to carry out its responsibilities to 
     publish a Senate document containing works of art, historical 
     objects, and exhibits within the Senate Wing.
       Sec. 2. The Sergeant at Arms of the Senate is authorized 
     and directed to make the necessary arrangements to carry out 
     this resolution.
