Mrs. HUTCHISON. Mr. President, on behalf of Senator Murkowski, I offer an amendment that would modify section 3158 of the National Defense Authorization Act for fiscal year 1997.

Mrs. HUTCHISON. Mr. President, I thank the Senator from South Carolina and the Senator from Georgia for clearing this amendment. I want to particularly thank Senator Warner and Senator Kempthorne. When I was not able to get the full stalking bill through that would protect every woman and child in America from interstate stalking, it was Senator Warner who came forward and said, ``Well, let us make sure that our military personnel have this, and we will take the next part of this up another day.'' So I am very thankful to Senator Warner and Senator Kempthorne for their great leadership in providing the stalking protection for the women and children in the armed services and everyone who is on a military base. This is a great step forward. I applaud them in their leadership, and I hope this encourages Mr. Lautenberg to help us do the full job. I thank the Chair and yield the floor. Mr. WELLSTONE addressed the Chair.

Mrs. HUTCHISON. Mr. President, I move to reconsider the vote by which the amendment was agreed to.

Mrs. HUTCHISON. Mr. President, I am told this amendment has been cleared by the other side.
