  Mr. GORTON. Mr. President, I understand that S. 3021 is at the desk. 
I ask for its first reading.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will state the bill by title.
  The assistant legislative clerk read as follows:

       A bill (S. 3021) to provide that a certification of the 
     cooperation of Mexico with United States counter-drug efforts 
     not be required in fiscal year 2001 for the limitation on 
     assistance for Mexico under section 490 of the Foreign
