  Mr. REID. Madam President, I ask unanimous consent the Judiciary 
Committee be discharged from further consideration of S. Res. 263 and 
that the Senate proceed to its immediate consideration.

  Mr. REID. I ask unanimous consent the resolution be agreed to, the 
Whitehouse amendment to the preamble, which is at the desk, be agreed 
to; the preamble, as amended, be agreed to, and the motions to 
reconsider be laid upon the table, with no intervening action or 
debate.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  The resolution (S. Res. 263) was agreed to.
