  Mr. KAUFMAN. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the Senate 
proceed to the immediate consideration of H.R. 4573, which was received 
from the House.
  The clerk will report the bill by title.
  The assistant legislative clerk read as follows:

       A bill (H.R. 4573) to urge the Secretary of the Treasury to 
     instruct the United States Executive Directors at the 
     International Monetary Fund, the World Bank, the Inter-
     American Development Bank, and other multilateral development 
     institutions to use the voice, vote, and influence of the 
     United States to cancel immediately and completely Haiti's 
     debts to such institutions, and for other purposes.

  There being no objection, the Senate proceeded to consider the bill.
  Mr. KAUFMAN. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that a Dodd 
amendment, which is at the desk, be agreed to; the bill, as amended, be 
read a third time and passed; the motion to reconsider be laid upon the 
table, with no intervening action or debate, and any statements related 
to the bill be printed in the Record.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.

     provide grants for Haiti.''.
       On page 4, line 7, insert ``and future generations'' after
