                           EXECUTIVE CALENDAR

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the Senate 
proceed to executive session to consider Executive Calendar No. 10, the 
1997 amendment to the Montreal Protocol; that the amendment be advanced 
through its parliamentary stages up to and including the presentation 
of the resolution of ratification, and that the Senate now vote on the 
resolution of ratification.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  The question is on agreeing to the resolution.
  All of those in favor will rise and stand until counted. (After a 
pause.) Those opposed will rise and stand until counted.
  In the opinion of the Chair, two-thirds of the Senators present and 
voting having voted in the affirmative, the resolution is agreed to.
  The resolution of ratification reads as follows:

       Resolved (two-thirds of the Senators present concurring 
     therein),
       That the Senate advise and consent to the ratification of 
     the Amendment to the Montreal Protocol on Substances that 
     Deplete the Ozone Layer, Adopted at Montreal on September 15-
     17, 1997, by the Ninth Meeting of the Parties to the Montreal 
     Protocol (Treaty Doc. 106-10).
