 TO REVISE, CODIFY, AND ENACT WITHOUT SUBSTANTIVE CHANGE CERTAIN LAWS 
            RELATED TO PUBLIC BUILDINGS, PROPERTY, AND WORKS

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent the Senate proceed 
to the consideration of Calendar No. 434, H.R. 2068.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will report the bill by title.
  The legislative clerk read as follows:

       A bill (H.R. 2068) to revise, codify, and enact without 
     substantive change certain general and permanent laws related 
     to public buildings, property, and works, as title 40, United 
     States Code, ``Public Buildings, Property, and Works''.

  There being no objection, the Senate proceeded to consider the bill.
  Mr. REID. Mr. President, I would like to make a parliamentary 
inquiry.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator will state his inquiry.
  Mr. REID. In the opinion of the Chair, does the enactment into 
positive law of a title of the United States Code, without substantive 
change, affect the subsequent referral of legislation under Senate rule 
XXV?
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. It does not.
  Mr. REID. I thank the Chair.
  I ask unanimous consent the bill be read the third time, passed, the 
motion to reconsider be laid upon the table, and that any statements 
relating thereto be printed in the Record at the appropriate place as 
if read, with no intervening action or debate.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  The bill (H.R. 2068) was read the third time and passed.
