  Mr. REID. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the Senate 
proceed to the consideration of S. Res. 124 submitted earlier today by 
Senators Feinstein and Boxer.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will report the resolution by title.
  The legislative clerk read as follows:

       A resolution (S. Res. 124) congratulating the University of 
     the Pacific, and its faculty, staff, students and alumni on 
     the University's 150th anniversary.

  There being no objection, the Senate proceeded to the resolution.
  Mrs. FEINSTEIN. Mr. President, I am pleased that the Senate will pass 
this resolution to honor the 150th anniversary of the University of the 
Pacific. Today, the University of the Pacific celebrates its founding 
in 1851.
  The University of the Pacific has remained throughout its history, 
devoted to the teaching and development of students by a faculty of 
outstanding scholars. It has prepared more than 60,000 students for 
lasting achievement and responsible leadership in their careers and 
communities.
  The University of the Pacific is also a trailblazer in higher 
education. Pacific was the first university in the West to enroll women 
and to introduce coeducation. It also established California's first 
medical school and music conservatory.
  I am pleased to sponsor this resolution to congratulate the 
University of the Pacific, and its faculty, staff, students, and alumni 
on the university's 150th anniversary.
  Mr. REID. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the resolution 
and the preamble be agreed to en bloc, the motion to reconsider be laid 
upon the table, and that any statements relating thereto be printed in 
the Record.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.

  The preamble was agreed to.
