     section)''.

  Mr. GARDNER. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the 
committee-reported amendment be agreed to; that the bill, as amended, 
be read a third time and passed; and that the motion to reconsider be 
considered made and laid upon the table.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  The committee-reported amendment in the nature of a substitute was 
agreed to.
  The bill (S. 1362), as amended, was ordered to be engrossed for a 
third reading, was read the third time, and passed.
