                     TERRORISM RISK PROTECTION ACT

  Mr. DASCHLE. Mr. President, as all of our colleagues know, over the 
last many weeks we have been attempting to work out an arrangement 
whereby we can go to conference on terrorism insurance. I am very 
pleased to be able to report this morning that we are now in a position 
to be able to do so. I have been in consultation with the Republican 
leader, and I am prepared now to present a unanimous consent request in 
that regard.
  I ask unanimous consent the Senate proceed to the immediate 
consideration of Calendar No. 252, H.R. 3210, the House-passed 
terrorism insurance bill, that all after the enacting clause be 
stricken, the text of S. 2600 as passed by the Senate be inserted in 
lieu thereof, the bill as thus amended be read the third time, passed, 
the motion to reconsider be laid upon the table; that the Senate insist 
upon its amendment, request a conference with the House upon the 
disagreeing votes of the two Houses, and that the Chair be authorized 
to appoint conferees on the part of the Senate with the ratio of 4 to 
3, all without intervening action or debate.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  The bill (H.R. 3210), as amended, was read the third time and passed.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER appointed Mr. Sarbanes, Mr. Dodd, Mr. Reed, Mr. 
Schumer, Mr. Gramm, Mr. Shelby, and Mr. Enzi conferees on the part of 
the Senate.
