  Mr. DeWINE. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the Senate 
now proceed to the immediate consideration of S. 279 regarding the 
membership of the Joint Economic Committee.
  Further, I ask that the bill be read the third time and passed, with 
the motion to reconsider laid upon the table.
  There being no objection, the Senate proceeded to consider the bill.
  The bill (S. 279) was read the third time and passed, as follows:

       Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of 
     the United States of America in Congress assembled, That 
     notwithstanding any other provision of law, and specifically 
     section 5(a) of the Employment Act of 1946 (15 U.S.C. 
     1024(a)), the Members of the Senate to be appointed by the 
     President of the Senate shall for the duration of the One 
     Hundred Seventh Congress, for so long as the majority party
