       TO REVISE UNITED STATES POLICY ON IRAQ--MOTION TO PROCEED


                             Cloture Motion

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, last week, I asked unanimous consent with 
respect to S.J. Res. 9, along with several other resolutions regarding 
the subject of Iraq--that we proceed on these--and there was an 
objection. So I now move to proceed to Calendar No. 72, S.J. Res. 9, 
and 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:

     States policy on Iraq.

XXII, be waived.
