  MISCELLANEOUS TRADE AND TECHNICAL CORRECTIONS ACT--CONFERENCE REPORT

  Mr. FRIST. Mr. President, I move to proceed to the conference report 
to accompany H.R. 1047, the Miscellaneous Trade and Technical 
Corrections Act.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The question is on agreeing to the motion.
  The motion was agreed to.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will report.
  The legislative clerk read as follows:

       The committee of conference on the disagreeing votes of the 
     two Houses on the amendment of the Senate to the bill (H.R. 
     1047), to amend the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United 
     States to modify temporarily certain rates of duty, to make 
     other technical amendments to the trade laws, and for other 
     purposes, having met, have agreed that the House recede from 
     its disagreement to the amendment of the Senate, and agree to 
     the same with an amendment, signed by all conferees on the 
     part of both Houses.

  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senate will proceed to the consideration 
of the conference report.
  (The conference report is printed in the proceedings of the House in 
the Record of October 8, 2004.)


                             Cloture Motion

  Mr. FRIST. Mr. President, I now send a cloture motion to the desk.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The cloture motion having been presented under 
rule XXII, the Chair directs the clerk to read the motion.
  The legislative clerk read as follows:

                             Cloture Motion

       We the undersigned Senators, in accordance with the 
     provisions of Rule XXII of the Standing Rules of the Senate, 
     do hereby move to bring to a close debate on the conference 
     report to accompany H.R. 1047, a bill to amend the harmonized 
     tariff schedule of the United States to modify temporarily 
     certain rates of duty, to make other technical amendments to 
     the trade laws, and for other purposes.
         Bill Frist, Chuck Grassley, George Allen, Craig Thomas, 
           Jon Kyl, Mike Crapo, Robert F. Bennett, John Ensign, 
           Pete Domenici, Lamar Alexander, John E. Sununu, Richard 
           G. Lugar, George Voinovich, Peter Fitzgerald, Trent 
           Lott, Lindsey Graham, Jim Talent.

  Mr. FRIST. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the mandatory 
quorum be waived.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  Mr. FRIST. For the information of all Members, this cloture motion 
will ripen on Friday morning. If cloture is invoked--and I think it 
will be--I hope we can move quickly to the adoption of the conference 
report.
