                 THE CALIFORNIA DESERT PROTECTION BILL

  Mr. MITCHELL. Madam President, I notified the distinguished 
Republican leader and other colleagues earlier this week of my 
intention to proceed upon our return to session following the Easter 
recess to S. 21, the California desert protection bill.
  Regrettably, and most unfortunately, I was advised that there would 
be a Republican filibuster to the motion to proceed to that bill and it 
would be, once again, necessary to file a motion to end that 
filibuster.
  Madam President, we have just completed action on three filibusters 
in less than 2 weeks. Now we are to confront another on the very first 
day back from the recess. As I said, I regard that as regrettable and 
most unfortunate.
