MAKING EMERGENCY SUPPLEMENTAL APPROPRIATIONS FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDING 
                           SEPTEMBER 30, 2000

  Mr. SUNUNU. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent the Senate 
immediately proceed to H.R. 2859, the bill be read a third time and 
passed, the motion to reconsider be laid upon the table, and that any 
statements relating to the bill be printed in the Record.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection?
  Mr. DASCHLE. Reserving the right to object.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Democratic leader.
  Mr. DASCHLE. I ask unanimous consent that the acting majority leader 
modify his request to include an amendment which provides $20 million 
for air marshal training, $289 million for the emergency firefighting 
and wildfire suppression, $100 million for AmeriCorps, $50 million for 
the Space Shuttle Columbia accident, the remaining $567 million for 
FEMA, which is not part of the House-passed bill.
  This is the supplemental which passed in the Senate, except for the 
$20 million for air marshal training which has now been recognized as a 
need of great import, especially within the last few weeks.
  I ask unanimous consent that the request made by the distinguished 
Senator from New Hampshire be modified.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from New Hampshire.
  Mr. SUNUNU. Mr. President, while I very much appreciate what the 
minority leader is attempting to do in his concern for funding in these 
areas, I object to his request at this time.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Agreement is not reached. Objection is heard.
  Mr. SUNUNU. Mr. President, I have a pending unanimous consent request 
that the Senate proceed to H.R. 2859, the bill be read a third time and 
passed, the motion to reconsider be laid upon the table, and any 
statements be printed in the Record.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection? Without objection, it is 
so ordered.
