be laid upon the table. I ask that the clerk read the resolution.

     may be specified by its Majority Leader or his designee in 
     the motion to recess or adjourn, or until noon on the second 
     day after Members are notified to reassemble pursuant to 
     section 2 of this concurrent resolution, whichever occurs 
     first; and that when the House adjourns on the legislative 
     day of Wednesday, November 1, 2000, or Thursday, November 2, 
     2000, on a motion offered pursuant to this concurrent

     resolution, whichever occurs first.
       Sec. 2. The Majority Leader of the Senate and the Speaker 
     of the House, acting jointly after consultation with the 
     Minority Leader of the Senate and the Minority Leader of the

     respectively, to reassemble whenever, in their opinion, the 
     public interest shall warrant it.

  There being no objection, the concurrent resolution (S. Con. Res. 
159) was considered and agreed to.
  Mr. STEVENS. Mr. President, I suggest the absence of a quorum.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will call the roll.
