  (Mrs. MURRAY assumed the chair.)
  Mr. BYRD. Madam President, I suggest the absence of a quorum.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The absence of a quorum having been suggested, 
the clerk will call the roll.
  The assistant legislative clerk proceeded to call the roll.
  Mr. BYRD. Madam President, I ask unanimous consent that the order for 
the quorum call be rescinded.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  Mr. BYRD. Madam President, I bring before the Senate today the fiscal 
year 1995 Department of the Interior and related agencies 
appropriations bill. The comanager of the bill, Senator Nickles, will 
not be on the floor until around noon or 12:30. I spoke with him about 
this matter last Friday, at which time he told me that he would not be 
able to be here until around noon. But it is with his approval that I 
proceed now to the open the discussion on the bill.
  I should call attention to the fact that the able ranking member of 
the Appropriations Committee, a member also of the Interior 
Appropriations Subcommittee, Senator Hatfield, is on the floor and 
available if any questions arise or if a need presents itself. And I 
thank him for his presence.


                  recognition of federal firefighters

  Before proceeding with the specifics of this appropriations bill, I 
think it appropriate for the Senate to take a moment to reflect upon 
the extraordinary dedication and commitment of the men and women who 
comprise the Federal firefighting force, a function which is funded 
largely out of this appropriations bill. In recent weeks, we have been 
reminded all too tragically of the dangers associated with the efforts 
these crews undertake in order to protect the lives and property of 
others.
  I wish to read into the Record the names and duty stations of the 
brave men and women who died in recent days while on duty with fire 
crews of either the Forest Service or Bureau of Land Management. 
Fourteen of these men and women perished on Wednesday, July 6, as they 
sought to fight a raging firestorm that had engulfed a portion of Storm 
King Mountain near Glenwood Springs, CO. Three more individuals--two 
firefighters and a pilot under contract--died on July 12 in a 
helicopter crash while being transported between two different fires 
near Silver City, NM. They deserve our thanks, our respect, and their 
families deserve our commiseration and sympathy and our thanks:
  Kathi Beck; Prineville, Oregon.
  Tami Bickett; Prineville, Oregon.
  Scott Blegha; Prineville, Oregon.
  Robert Boomer; Van Nuys, California.
  Levi Brinkley; Prineville, Oregon.
  Robert Browning; Grand Junction, Colorado.
  Doug Dunbar; Prineville, Oregon.
  Anthony Sean Gutierrez; Silver City, New Mexico.
  Terri Hagen; Prineville, Oregon.
  Bonnie Holtby; Prineville, Oregon.
  Rob Johnson; Prineville, Oregon.
  John Kelso; Prineville, Oregon.
  Don Mackey; Missoula, Montana.
  Roger Roth; McCall, Idaho.
  Samuel Smith; Las Cruces, New Mexico.
  James Thrash; McCall, Idaho.
  Richard Tyler; Grand Junction, Colorado.
  Madam President, I think we often take for granted the sacrifices 
that men and women make on our behalf as they perform their public 
duties. As we begin consideration of this bill, I feel it appropriate 
for us to recognize the contribution that these men and women made on 
the people's behalf and to honor their deeds. To the families and loved 
ones left behind by these brave firefighters may I express on behalf of 
the Senate our profound sorrow for your loss and our gratitude that 
these individuals chose to serve so selflessly on our behalf. Their 
efforts will not be forgotten.


                         interior bill summary

  Madam President, I will now turn to the specifics of the legislation 
before us today.
  This bill, as reported by the Appropriations Committee, totals 
$13,391,647,000 in discretionary budget authority, which is 
$133,353,000 below the subcommittee's 602(b) allocation.
  The outlay scoring totals $13,866,825,000, which is just $175,000 
below the 602(b) allocation. When compared to the President's budget, 
the recommendations represent a decrease of $322,500,000 in budget 
authority and $207,030,000 in outlays.
  The amounts of budget authority recommended in the fiscal year 1995 
Interior bill represent a decrease of some $336 million below last 
year's enacted level for these same programs. So while there may be 
many programs that individual Senators would like to see funded at a 
higher level, I remind Senators of the constraints under which this 
bill was formulated. The reductions are very real--very real. It is in 
appropriations bills, such as this one, that specific decisions have to 
be made about funding for competing interests within a limited 
allowance.
  Let me stress that. We operate on the Appropriations Committee within 
a limited allowance. We do not ``bust,'' to use a familiar term, 
budgets on the Appropriations Committee. We have a level of allocation. 
That level comes within the budget mandate that Congress passes, and we 
do not exceed the limit. The Appropriations Committee does not exceed 
the caps.
  Any amendments to increase spending in one area of this bill must be 
offset by reductions elsewhere for the bill to remain within the 602(b) 
allocation.
  Total funding for some of the large agencies funded in this bill, 
such as the Fish and Wildlife Service, the National Park Service, the 
Geological Survey, the Bureau of Mines, the Bureau of Indian Affairs, 
the Forest Service, and the Department of Energy is below last year's 
level. Let me repeat, nearly every major agency funded in this 
appropriations bill will have less money to spend in fiscal year 1995 
than they had in fiscal year 1994.
  As a matter of fact, it was formulated in a nonpartisan manner, which 
is nothing new for the Appropriations Committee. On the Appropriations 
Committee, we do not know any difference between Republicans and 
Democrats. It does not make any difference. We do not talk politics. We 
do not get into politics. We do not resolve any political matters. We 
do not hem and haw and argue and fuss around about politics. There is 
no partisanship in the Appropriations Committee. And I thank my 
colleagues on that committee, both Democrats and Republicans, for 
observing that axiom. It is an axiom we take for granted and we hew to 
the line in that respect.
  I thank my colleague, Senator Hatfield, who for several years was 
chairman of the Appropriations Committee. I thank him and his 
colleagues on his side of the table for their unfailing cooperation, 
courtesy, and consideration and assistance. There is teamwork on that 
committee and on the subcommittees.
  I thank Senator Nickles and his staff for their cooperation in 
drafting the bill. It was no easy task. The subcommittee received over 
1,600 requests for projects of interest to the Senate. We had a good 
many requests from Members of the other body, the House of 
Representatives. Nearly all of these requests presumed enactment of the 
amounts proposed in the President's budget and then proposed to add 
above that. Simple math precludes this from happening.
  Madam President, may we have order in the gallery.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The gallery will be in order.
  There will be order in the gallery.
  Mr. BYRD. Madam President, slide rules and logarithms and old math or 
new math, take it all.
  Simple math precludes this from happening, since the allocation is 
below the President's budget. So, even without considering a single 
item brought to our attention by interested parties, we had to make 
reductions from the amounts requested in the budget.
  Madam President, some Senators may be less than satisfied with the 
funding allocations in this bill, either in general or as it relates to 
a specific project or program of interest to them. I would remind those 
Senators, we have now reached the point where the rhetoric must become 
the reality. When we vote for $13 billion in outlay reductions for 
discretionary spending, as was done with this year's budget resolution, 
we have to be prepared to accept the consequences. This year's share of 
that reduction was $500 million. And a good many Senators have already 
had calls to reflect on their actions in supporting that cut which took 
place in the Budget Committee. And as President Reagan used to say, 
``You ain't seen nothing yet.'' Wait until next year.
  The situation will be even worse next year when the Appropriations 
Committee will have $5.4 billion less--not $500 million, not a half 
billion less, but $5.4 billion less--to allocate than would have been 
available within the caps set in the reconciliation bill last year.
  Madam President, I would like to highlight some of the items of 
interest in the Interior bill.
  The subcommittee has attempted to protect the operational base of the 
agencies funded in the bill. When adjusting for one-time transfers and 
current year reprogrammings, the National Park Service operating 
account is increased by $44 million over last year. Many parks are 
struggling with the consequences of the Federal work force reductions, 
and these funds will help to maintain critical programs that serve the 
visitors to our 368 national park units.
  Total funding in the bill for Federal land acquisition and State 
outdoor recreation grants is $219 million. This amount is $35.7 million 
below both the fiscal year 1994 level and the President's request for 
fiscal year 1995. The subcommittee received requests for increases 
totaling $423 million above the amounts contained in the budget request 
for land acquisition.
  Total funding for construction in the land management agencies 
amounts to nearly $447.4 million. This total is about $91.1 million, or 
17 percent, below the fiscal year 1994 appropriation for these same 
construction accounts. It should be noted that budget constraints have 
contributed to a reduction in Park Service construction funding of $100 
million since fiscal year 1992.
  Let me say that again. It should be noted that budget constraints 
have contributed to a reduction in Park Service construction funding of 
$100 million since fiscal year 1992. The request from Senators for 
increases above the budget for construction totaled $558 million--just 
for 1995, just for fiscal year 1995. So the requests from Senators for 
increases over the budget for construction totaled $558 million.
  Funding for energy conservation programs grows by $53.4 million, or 8 
percent, over the fiscal year 1994 enacted level. This includes $36.5 
million to fund the highest priority climate change initiatives 
requested by the administration to begin implementing the President's 
Climate Change Action Plan.
  Indian programs are funded at a total of $3.8 billion, which includes 
significant increases for education, health care, and contract support. 
The committee has attempted to restore funds to maintain existing 
program levels and to address the impact of opening new facilities.
  The bill includes $161.6 million for the National Endowment for the 
Arts, a reduction of 5 percent from the budget request.
  And, the bill includes approximately $146 million in funding for the 
President's plan for the Pacific Northwest, and $42.5 million for the 
South Florida/Everglades initiative.
  Madam President, I ask unanimous consent that I include in the Record 
at this point a statement clarifying several provisions in the 
committee report, Senate Report 103-294, accompanying this legislation.
  There being no objection, the material was ordered to be printed in 
the Record, as follows:

                    S. Report 103-294 Clarification

       On page 113 in the section dealing with Indian education, 
     the amount shown in the table for grants to local education 
     agencies should be $60,300,000 rather than $59,800,000. Also 
     on page 113 in the same table, the amount shown for special 
     programs for Indian children should be $8,500,000 rather than 
     $9,000,000. The accompanying text is correct.
       On page 30 of the report, there is language under the 
     National Biological Survey regarding ongoing funding for the 
     Hawaii biodiversity joint venture project. This reference 
     applies to the Fish and Wildlife Service, not the NBS.
       On page 65, under Administration of Territories, the 
     reference to American Samoa high school should be to Tafuna 
     High School, in American Samoa.
       With respect to funds provided to the Indian Health Service 
     for facilities and environmental health support, because of 
     the fluctuating nature of the workload in this program, the 
     funds should be distributed in accordance with a methodology 
     which addresses overall workload annually and maintains 
     parity among the areas and tribes as the workload shifts.
       The funds referenced on page 39 for the Chesapeake and Ohio 
     Canal NHP are to be applied to the preliminary engineering 
     requirements since the project will be furthered with that 
     technical data at the earliest possible date.

  Mr. BYRD. Madam President, I yield the floor.
  Mr. NICKLES addressed the Chair.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Oklahoma.
  Mr. NICKLES. First, I wish to thank and compliment my friend, the 
chairman of the committee, Senator Byrd, for his leadership and also 
for his cooperation; as well as his staff, Sue Masica, who has worked 
very well with me; and, also, on my staff, Cherie Cooper.
  Mr. President, we bring before the Senate today the Department of the 
Interior and related agencies appropriations for fiscal year 1995.
  I might just mention at the outset, Mr. President, this has not been 
an easy appropriations bill. We have managed a few over the years, but 
this one has a significant reduction from the previous year--$324 
million less than what we had last year and a 2.4-percent reduction in 
budget authority compared to last year.
  So we have a lot of agencies, as a matter of fact the strong majority 
of agencies, that we fund in this budget receiving less money than they 
had last year.
  I just mention this to my colleagues because it is not easy, when you 
are trying to do this, when you have a lot of demands, a lot of 
requests, some very legitimate requests that we are simply not able to 
fund.
  Let me just summarize this. I know Senator Byrd did this in his 
excellent presentation, but I just want to touch on a few things so our 
colleagues have some kind of idea of the scope of the decisions that 
have been made in the bill.
  The Bureau of Land Management is increased by 3 percent; the Fish and 
Wildlife Service is decreased 3.8 percent; the National Biological 
Survey, a slight reduction, about a half percent; the National Park 
Service, a 3.1-percent reduction; the Geological Survey, a reduction of 
3.3 percent.
  Madam President, these are all in relation to the actual figures that 
we are looking at for fiscal year 1994, so it is comparing 1994 to 
1995, not compared to the administration's request because, by and 
large, many of these requests are far below that proposed by the 
administration.
  The Bureau of Indian Affairs, a 2.1-percent reduction; the Office of 
Surface Mining Reclamation, a 10-percent reduction. The total of all 
for the Department of the Interior is a 2.2-percent reduction.
  Related agencies: The Forest Service has a six-tenths of 1 percent 
reduction; the Department of Energy, a total of 13.7 percent reduction; 
naval petroleum and oil shale reserves, down 11.6 percent; the 
strategic petroleum reserve down 25.9 percent, Indian Health Services, 
an increase of only 1.3 percent.

  I might mention, Madam President--I know the Chair is familiar with 
this in the State of Nebraska--the Indian Health Service is not doing a 
very good job. Certainly it needs more money and 1.3 percent does not 
remedy all the problems or even come close to remedying the problems we 
have in the Indian Health Service.
  Indian education, no increase whatsoever. The Institute of American 
Indian and Alaska Native Culture had a reduction of 21.9 percent.
  I will just mention a couple of others.
  The National Endowment for the Arts, a 5-percent reduction. I could 
go on. The National Capital Arts and Cultural Affairs Council, 11.4 
percent reduction. The Holocaust Memorial Council received the same 
amount as last year, $21.7 million.
  The total of all the related agencies, funds from the Forest Service, 
Department of Energy, Indian Health and many other related agencies, a 
2.7-percent reduction. If you add it all together, it is a net 2.4-
percent reduction from 1994 levels, a total of $326 million less than 
what we had authorized in the 1994 level.
  I mention that just from the outset to let our colleagues know I know 
there are some thoughts from many people in this body who are saying we 
need more money for a lot of different agencies, for a lot of different 
programs. I will just say we did the best job that we could and we did 
come up with a slight reduction, I think a fair reduction.
  Finally, I encourage my colleagues to bring their amendments to the 
floor. I know it is scheduled, we are supposed to have what we commonly 
called--or is referred to as--a bed-check vote, a live quorum vote, at 
1 o'clock. But I encourage my colleagues, if they have amendments, to 
bring them to the floor, let us dispose of those amendments and finish 
this bill as soon as possible.
  Madam President, to reiterate, I am pleased to support the chairman's 
remarks, and his introduction of the committee recommendations for the 
fiscal year 1995 Interior appropriations bill. I also want to recognize 
the dedication of the 17 individuals who lost their lives while 
performing firefighting activities in Colorado and New Mexico earlier 
this month, and to express our sympathy to their families and friends. 
It is through the commitment and expertise of the firefighters, who are 
funded primarily out of this appropriations bill, that we are able to 
minimize the resource damage and protect private properties when 
wildfires sweep through our Nation forests and rangelands.
  I want to thank the chairman for his efforts in bringing the Interior 
bill to the Senate floor. I compliment the Senator from West Virginia 
for the excellent work he has done in compiling this bill and 
appreciate the bipartisan manner in which this bill was assembled.
  Madam Chairman, the Interior bill is a complex bill to put together. 
This bill provides funding for a variety of agencies with very diverse 
programs including land management activities, Indian programs, energy 
research and development, arts, and museums. The Interior bill receives 
a great deal of Member attention, with 1,600 Member requests coming to 
us for consideration. Many difficult choices are reflected in this 
bill. To add to the complexity of the bill, we are grappling with the 
reality of work force reductions. The Interior bill reflects our 
efforts to maintain agency operations activities.
  The subcommittee has kept within the 602(b) discretionary allocations 
of $13,525 billion for budget authority and $13.867 billion for 
outlays. The Interior appropriations bill outlay allocation is $76 
million under the House allocation. It is evident that the chairman and 
his staff have done an excellent job of meshing the competing demands. 
The committee's recommendations will contribute to a balanced Federal 
budget while continuing to provide the expected Government services.
  The Interior appropriations bill for fiscal year 1995 discretionary 
funds is $336 million below--2 percent--the fiscal year 1994 enacted 
level. To name a few of the 41 agencies funded by the Interior bill: 
the Bureau of Land Management is increased by 3 percent, primarily due 
to the new central hazardous material fund and the Pacific Northwest 
forest plan; the Fish and Wildlife Service is decreased by 4 percent 
due to large decreases in construction and land acquisition; the 
National Park Service is decreased by 3 percent, due to construction 
and land acquisition; the Bureau of Indian Affairs is decreased by 2 
percent; the Forest Service is decreased by 1 percent; fossil energy is 
decreased by 3 percent; Indian Health Service is increased by 1 
percent; and energy conservation is increased by 8 percent, the largest 
increase of the major agencies funded in the bill. Only 6 of the 41 
agencies are provided increases over the fiscal year 1994 levels. The 
other agencies are either at last year's levels or at decreased levels.

  The totals for construction and for land acquisition are below the 
fiscal year 1994 enacted levels. Both of these items contribute to 
substantial future funding requirements. As lands are added to the 
Federal land base and as new facilities are constructed, managers are 
faced with making decisions on shortening part hours, closing 
campgrounds, enforcing road restrictions, and adjusting organizations 
to meet the new operations and maintenance needs. The construction 
accounts for the land management agencies total $447.4 million, which 
is a decrease of $91.1 million-- -17 percent--from the fiscal year 1994 
enacted level of $538.6 million. The land acquisition accounts for 
these same agencies total $218.6 million, which is a decrease of $35.7 
million-- -14 percent--from the fiscal year 1994 enacted level of 
$254.3 million.
  The Indian activities, which are funded under the Interior bill, 
require 29 percent of our allocation resources, while still not meeting 
the needs of the Indian population. The demands for Indian activities 
continue to increase yearly using more of the Interior bill's limited 
resources. We are increasing the Bureau of Indian Affairs operating 
account by 2 percent and the Indian Health Service operating account by 
4 percent, restoring on-going programs.
  The timber sale program is an area of great concern to many Members 
of the Senate. The timber sale program, which because of House action 
was reduced to a 2.8-3.2 billion board foot program, is restored to 4.3 
billion board foot program and fits without our allocations.
  The funding for the National Endowment for the Arts is $161.6 million 
which is a 5-percent decrease from the fiscal year 1994 enacted level.
  Madam President, again I wish to thank the Chairman.
  Mr. HATFIELD addressed the Chair.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Oregon [Mr. Hatfield] is 
recognized.
  Mr. HATFIELD. Madam President, as the chairman of the Senate 
Appropriations Committee, the Senator from West Virginia, has 
indicated, Senator Nickles, the ranking member of this committee, is 
detained for about an hour. So he cannot be here on the floor at the 
present time to make his opening statement until he gets out of the 
committee.
  Madam President, at this moment, I would like to rise to thank the 
chairman of the committee, Senator Byrd, for his tribute he paid to the 
firefighters who lost their lives in the terrible forest fires in 
Colorado. As he enumerated those names--he listed them one by one, both 
men and women who were part of this team--9 of the 14 were from a 
little community in Oregon by the name of Prineville. Of course, as you 
know, in a small community that is 5,625 members or citizens, when you 
have a tragedy that strikes one family, it is felt throughout the 
community. You can imagine what the impact was when such a tragedy was 
impacted on 9 families in this town of a little over 5,000.
  Madam President, I have entered in the Record before on occasion to 
speak on behalf of our appreciation and deep gratitude to those who 
sacrificed their lives, all 14 of them, and particularly the 9 from my 
State.
  I just want to again take this opportunity to make a few 
extemporaneous remarks about the sacrifice made by these young men and 
young women. For any way you look at this action, it was a true act of 
heroism. These young men and young women are true heroes and heroines 
in any sense of the word.
  Oftentimes, we tend to forget those who put their lives on the line 
daily in their professions and in their work--our policemen, our 
firefighters, and many others in the civilian area of life. We think 
mostly of the military who, like all who are serving their country, put 
their lives on the line when they are in areas of turmoil, hostility, 
and military action. But surely, as well, these who fight forest fires 
and who train in that very, very dangerous work daily put their lives 
on the line when they are called into action.
  Madam President, coming from the State of Washington, my neighboring 
State, you, like many of us, have witnessed forest fires. There is 
really nothing I can think of that creates more of that sense of horror 
and sense of weakness and futility than the light of such a forest 
fire. I have seen them skip along the tops of these magnificent 
forests, burning the tops of these trees as the wind blows and blows 
the flames. I have heard them explode, literally explode, because you 
can imagine in a heavy forest with the flammable material of a fresh 
tree that is full of sap, and all of the other flammables, that they 
literally at times will explode like a cannon as this fire is moving 
through these forests.
  When you put men and women into the pathway of such an awesome power 
as a forest fire, and they are given the assignment to stop the fire, 
they use all sorts of techniques. I will not go into all of them. 
Sometimes they make a back fire to create a swath of burnt land so that 
the fire will not move over it because the material has been removed.
  But again, I refer back to the fact that these are so dangerous 
because no one knows about the drafts that they create in the heat of 
that fire. It can be dead still as far as the wind is concerned out 
from the fire, but there can be tremendous gusts of wind created by 
drafts and updrafts in the heat mixing with the colder air.
  So the fire may be moving one direction and you think that you can 
get behind it. But, on the other hand, sometimes very instantaneously, 
the fire will shift and move right into your own position, and you are 
caught or you are endangered in some very serious way.
  So it is that these young people--and they were in their twenties, 
the women and the men who responded voluntarily--responded to go to 
Colorado and help fight that fire.
  (Mr. KERREY assumed the Chair.)
  Mr. HATFIELD. So, again, I want to issue my personal--and I am sure 
on behalf of all of my colleagues--sympathy to those families who 
suffered that loss, and my sympathy to the community which found a 
great void in their community life because these young people were all 
part of that community. And, again, I recognize the tremendous 
sacrifice they made and the willingness to give of their lives in their 
positions, in that type of job, that type of profession, to give of 
their lives if circumstances happened in which lives are taken. I pray 
that those circumstances will not happen in the future. But we never 
can control that or know about it.
  So I thank Senator Byrd for his opening presentation of the Interior 
Subcommittee appropriations, for his thoughtfulness and his sensitivity 
in paying tribute to these young people, all 14 of them, and their 
families. I merely want to affirm the same tribute and the same 
sympathy on my behalf.
  Mr. President, I would like to just make one or two brief comments 
about the bill itself. I am on this particular subcommittee serving 
with Senator Byrd and Senator Nickles as our leaders on the 
subcommittee. I, too, can state that these committees that are bringing 
the bills to the floor in this particular session are under tremendous 
pressure, under tremendous focus of providing money for important 
programs on a diminishing basis; that is, the resources are diminishing 
rapidly, and the needs are increasing, in many instances.
  We have just taken action this session on the California desert bill, 
just to give you an illustration. I cosponsored the bill, supported the 
bill, voted for the bill. Yet, it is merely an authorization. Someone 
once said that an authorization is but ``a hunting license for an 
appropriation.'' We on the Appropriations Committee and this 
subcommittee will be called upon, once this bill passes the conference 
committee and is then signed into law by the President, to fund the 
actual existence of the California desert. But you see the California 
desert bill is merely lining up--there is a long line out there of 
projects that we have authorized that have not been funded within just 
this one account of our Interior appropriations bill.
  We have added two national parks. We have added two other such set-
asides that are important for the public, but unfunded. We know from 
studies that some of our national parks are dangerous. They have had to 
close certain areas of our national parks because we have not been able 
to maintain the safety of those parks. The operation and maintenance 
accounts of those national parks have been diminishing. Yet, there is a 
greater use, greater demand for national parks all the time. The 
public's demand is expanding; the resources to maintain them are 
diminishing. So that is within the existing commitments. So here we are 
adding more commitments, which I think are important; but I want to use 
that as one illustration of the difficulty this committee functions 
under. So I think that all of us could say it is not what we would 
like, but it is certainly, I must say, the best I think that can be 
achieved under these circumstances.
  Senator Byrd also mentioned about the bipartisan character of the 
committee, and I want to affirm that from the Republican side of the 
aisle. I not only have sensed this as a unique characteristic of this 
committee, not that all authorizing committees are partisan, but there 
are those moments and those issues that divide the parties, divide 
honest differences of philosophy.
  In fact, I cannot remember it happening in the Appropriations 
Committee. Senator Byrd, our chairman, referred to the time when I was 
chairman for 6 years and we had 15 Republicans and 14 Democrats at that 
time. I must say, as I have previously, that we had some of the most 
conservative and some of the most liberal from both parties on that 
committee. There was not a controversial issue that committee faced in 
those 6 years that we did not have to craft a coalition of Democrats 
and Republicans to make a decision. It was constantly a matter of 
crafting coalition between Democrats and Republicans to achieve the 
work of that committee.
  We continue to see that reflected in our work. But it also is 
reflected through the staff and this again is, I think, somewhat 
unique, in my time of the Senate, to the Appropriations Committee. I 
must say I have never seen staff on any committee I have served on that 
has not been responsive to any request that I as a minority member and 
as a majority member--I have been in both situations, and I prefer the 
majority status. Nevertheless, I must say that from my illustration I 
have never noted any distinction from my personal experience and 
requests made to the staff of either side of any committee, where I 
have been turned down or treated shabbily in any way or in a partisan 
way. I must say, I believe that in creating and crafting these bills, 
the staffs of the Appropriations Committee from the majority and 
minority sides work more intimately, more collaboratively in their 
efforts to represent the product of the committee than any committee I 
serve on.
  In part, it is because we do not shift staffs in the shift of power. 
I recall vividly when we faced a situation of finding ourselves in the 
majority, much to my surprise--and I think most of the pundits were 
somewhat surprised in the 1980 election--as I recall, we had five new 
members on our committee on the majority side, four of which had never 
served a day in the Congress, and all of a sudden four of those five 
were subcommittee chairmen. It was a very great responsibility to take 
on those positions of subcommittee chairmen.
  We, in our collective judgment, at my urging, said let us not deny 
ourselves of the continuity and expertise of those staff persons who 
had been on those subcommittees for many years, hired by then the 
majority. And we continued them on, and through attrition, as they saw 
fit in their decisions to leave the committee, we replaced them. Some 
of those replacements now are still on the committee, acting on behalf 
of the majority side. So our staffs do not reflect changes of majority 
and minority status of that committee, and they serve the full 
committee. That is the way in which I feel our committee is somewhat 
unique.
  So I pay tribute to the staffs for helping to create this product, as 
difficult as it was, as well as the leadership of the Subcommittee on 
Interior.
  I yield the floor.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from West Virginia, the President 
pro tempore, is recognized.
  Mr. BYRD. I thank the Chair. I thank the distinguished Senator from 
Oregon for his timely and appropriate remarks. They are always 
incisive, to the point, and useful.
  This request has been cleared with the Senator from Oregon.


                      Unanimous-Consent Agreement

  Mr. BYRD. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the committee 
amendments be agreed to en bloc, that the bill, as thus amended, be 
regarded for the purpose of amendment as original text, provided that 
no point of order shall have been considered to have been waived by 
agreeing to this request, and that the following committee amendments 
be excepted from this en bloc request:
  Page 48, line 16 through page 49 line 7; page 49, lines 12 through 
14; page 81, line 7; page 81, line 16; page 81, line 18; and page 82, 
lines 3 through 6.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  So the committee amendments were agreed to en bloc, except the 
following:
  Page 48, line 16 through page 49 line 7; page 49, lines 12 through 
14; page 81, line 7; page 81, line 16; page 81, line 18; and page 82, 
lines 3 through 6.
  Mr. BYRD. Mr. President, I suggest the absence of a quorum.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will call the roll.
  The bill clerk proceeded to call the roll.
  Mr. GORTON. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the order for 
the quorum call be rescinded.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  Mr. GORTON. Mr. President, today we begin the discussion of this 
significant appropriations bill for the Department of the Interior and 
related agencies. As we do so I realize that there will be a number of 
amendments and votes on controversial issues. I also realize, however, 
that there will be one issue falling within the jurisdiction of this 
subcommittee on which apparently there will not be a debate or a vote. 
I wish to speak to that briefly for the moment.
  On a number of occasions, this appropriations bill has been the 
vehicle for a discussion of harvest levels in the national forests of 
the Pacific Northwest. In fact, specific amendments providing temporary 
relief were passed as part of the bill in 1989 for the 1990 
appropriations bill.
  Since then, while there has been controversy, there have been no 
further votes on such proposals. During that course of time, harvest 
levels in the forests of region 6 of the Pacific Northwest has declined 
from something like 5 billion board feet a year almost to zero.
  During the course of his campaign in 1992, then candidate Bill 
Clinton promised the people of the Northwest a timber summit in the 
first year of his Presidency and an equitable and fair solution to the 
controversy over harvest levels and preservation. That timber summit 
was held in Portland in the spring of 1993 and, after an extensive 
delay, resulted in what the President denominated option 9. This option 
called for an average of 1.2 to 1.3 billion board feet of harvest in 
those forests.
  From the perspective of this Senator and his colleague, the 
distinguished senior Senator from Oregon, and others in the Pacific 
Northwest, this was an utterly inadequate and unfair compromise. The 
harvest levels in the President's plan represented a cut which was 
itself below the rate at which the forests regenerated themselves. 
Nevertheless, it did appear to many in the Pacific Northwest to be 
better than nothing.
  Another year elapsed and option 9 became option 9 minus, down to an 
average of 1.1 billion board feet per year, each step announced with 
great fanfare. But it now becomes increasingly evident the harvest 
levels under option 9 itself will never be realized. The administration 
now talks about 2 or 3 or 4 years from now before these meager harvest 
levels are reached.
  But litigation not only with respect to the forests in general but 
with respect to every individual proposed timber sale seems absolutely 
endless. And so even the utterly inadequate promise of the 
administration for the forest communities of the Pacific Northwest is 
simply not going to take place.
  Occasionally, an individual in this administration, realizing this 
fact, now begins to mutter that at some point or another perhaps a 
legislative solution would be important. In fact, in a hearing before 
the subcommittee, the Secretary of the Interior said that at some 
future time legislative action might be recommended by the 
administration. But with the passage of this bill, any opportunity to 
have effect during the course of the next year will have passed by.
  Another year of unnecessary suffering on the part of timber 
communities in the Pacific Northwest will be, for all practical 
purposes, guaranteed, simply because the administration cannot get its 
act together, cannot operate with a sufficient degree of courage to 
recommend to the Congress that its own promises actually be kept.
  Once again, I need to emphasize that I do not believe that those 
promises are adequate by any stretch of the imagination, but they are 
clearly better than the situation in those rural areas at the present 
time. So the administration, lacking that courage, sentences our people 
in timber communities to at least another full year of suffering. It 
is, of course, pointless for those who champion their cause to put up 
amendments which would be fought by the administration and by the 
majority and almost certainly defeated in a Congress like this without 
the encouragement and support of the administration.
  But I could not let this opportunity go by without expressing my 
extreme disappointment in an administration which not only cannot come 
up with an adequate and fair answer to the problem, but lacks the 
courage to enforce the solution that it does advocate and refuses even 
to ask for the degree of congressional relief which would allow it to 
keep those inadequate promises.
  I have every hope that, long before this time next year, with the new 
Congress and different attitudes on the part of the administration, it 
may reverse itself and carry out the promises which President Clinton 
made when he was candidate Clinton.


     statement on the fiscal year 1995 interior appropriations bill

  Mr. SASSER. Mr. President, the Senate Budget Committee has examined 
H.R. 4602, the Interior appropriations bill and has found that the bill 
is under its 602(b) budget authority allocation by $133 million and 
under its 602(b) outlay allocation by $175 thousand.
  I compliment the distinguished manager of the bill, Senator Byrd and 
the distinguished ranking member of the Interior Subcommittee, Senator 
Nickles on all their hard work.
  Mr. President, I have a table prepared by the Budget Committee which 
shows the official scoring of the Interior appropriations bill and I 
ask unanimous consent that it be inserted in the Record at the 
appropriate point. There being no objection, the table was ordered to 
be printed in the Record, as follows:

  Mr. NICKLES. Mr. President, I suggest the absence of a quorum.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will call the roll.
  The assistant legislative clerk proceeded to call the roll.
  Mr. BYRD. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the order for 
the quorum call be rescinded.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  The Senator from West Virginia, the President pro tempore of the 
Senate, is recognized.
  Mr. BYRD. Mr. President, the following request has been cleared on 
the other side. Senator Nickles is here and may or may not wish to 
speak to it.
  I ask unanimous consent that at an appropriate time, Senator Bumpers 
be recognized to offer an amendment, regarding mining patent moratoria, 
to the committee amendment on page 48, line 16 through page 49, line 7; 
that there be a 1-hour time limit for debate on the amendment with the 
time equally divided and controlled in the usual form; that upon the 
use or the yielding back of the time, Senator Bumpers be recognized to 
withdraw his amendment and without intervening action the committee 
amendment be agreed to.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  Mr. BYRD. Mr. President, while I have the floor, the staffs have put 
together a list of amendments of which we have been notified by the 
proposed sponsors, and it is my hope that Senator Nickles and I, 
through our respective staffs, may be able to go through these 
amendments and determine which of them might be agreeable on both sides 
so that we may proceed by unanimous consent or otherwise to get Senate 
action on them.
  This is an important bill. I believe this is the 10th appropriations 
bill to be acted upon by the Senate in addition to any supplemental or 
supplementals. As Juliet said to Romeo, `` . . . in a minute there are 
many days''. And it is to be hoped that we might use our minutes 
profitably. There will be a vote today at 1 p.m. It will be a 
procedural vote. But in the meantime, Mr. Nickles and I would hope to 
encourage Senators who have amendments to come to the floor and call 
them up so that we may have action on them by voice vote or, if a 
rollcall is required, stack them for action this afternoon.
  Tomorrow will be a day in which, because of the joint meeting with 
the House of Representatives, we will see an interruption of the action 
on this bill if we are still on it. I hope that we can dispose of most 
or all amendments today. I am also advised that there may be an 
important meeting at the White House this evening at 7 o'clock.
  I am not apprised as yet as to how many Senators may be attending 
those meetings. I presume the Senate leadership, the elected leadership 
of the Senate, will be in the meeting. Therefore it is important that 
we use the time upon our hands as conveniently and profitably as 
possible.
  ``We burn daylight.'' On Mondays especially, the average citizen, I 
suppose, like Menenius in ``Coriolanus,'' is ``one that converses more 
with the buttock of the night than with the forehead of the morning.'' 
Senators are probably not much different in this respect, but there are 
Senators who are in town. I urge them to come to the floor. We have a 
list of amendments, as I have already indicated.
  They can use the time now to their advantage if they will just come 
and call up the amendments.
  Mr. President, I suggest the absence of a quorum.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will call the roll.
  The assistant legislative clerk proceeded to call the roll.
  Mr. BYRD. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the order for 
the quorum call be rescinded.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. Dorgan). Without objection, it is so 
ordered.


                       amendments nos. 2382-2393

       (Purpose: To adjust the amounts provided for construction)


                           amendment no. 2394

 (Purpose: To allow Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act villages to be 
    eligible to participate in the Indian Health Service sanitation 
                          facilities program)

  Mr. BYRD. Mr. President, certain amendments have been discussed with 
the other side, Senator Nickles. The two sides have agreed on the 
following:
  Senator Byrd, technical correction amendment; Senator Byrd, technical 
correction amendment; Senator Byrd, technical correction amendment; 
Senator Byrd, title III general provision, language regarding research 
work orders and ongoing funding for cooperative research units; Senator 
Byrd, title I, section 6, Senator Burns' psychology program, Indian 
Health Service; Senator Byrd, territorial and international affairs; 
Senator Byrd, territorial and international affairs; Senator DeConcini, 
Indian Health Service, to allow the use of funds collected from food 
service to be retained at the facility where the service is provided; 
Senator Dorgan, BIA child abuse; Senator Kassebaum, National Park 
Service, historic Kansas forts; Senator Murray, with Senator Gorton as 
a cosponsor, to reallocate funds provided for Mount St. Helens between 
road and facility construction; Senator Stevens, Indian Health Service, 
eligibility of a community in Alaska, Craig, AK, for Indian Health 
Service services.
  I ask unanimous consent that these amendments be considered en bloc 
and agreed to en bloc and the motion to reconsider en bloc be laid on 
the table.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will report the amendments en bloc.
  The legislative clerk read as follows:

       The Senator from West Virginia [Mr. Byrd] proposes 
     amendments numbered 2382 through 2394, en bloc.

  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Oklahoma.
  Mr. NICKLES. Mr. President, we have reviewed these amendments and we 
have no objection to them being considered en bloc and would urge their 
adoption.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection to the unanimous consent 
request?
  Mr. BYRD. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the pending 
committee amendment be set aside for the consideration of the 
amendments en bloc and that appropriate statements be included in the 
Record in explanation of the various and sundry amendments.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  So the amendments (Nos. 2382, 2383, 2384, 2385, 2386, 2387, 2388, 
2389, 2390, 2391, 2392, 2393, and 2394) were agreed to, as follows:


                           amendment no. 2382

       On page 51, line 5, strike ``$1,322,857,000'' and insert in 
     lieu thereof ``$1,334,857,000''.

  Mr. BYRD. Mr. President, the purpose of this amendment is to correct 
the number in the National Forest System appropriation account to 
comport with the funding level recommended by the committee. In a 
technical error, the number currently printed on page 51, line 5 
reflects the ``net'' appropriation after a rescission of $12,000,000. 
The correct number should be the ``gross'' number since the rescission 
is identified separately on page 51, lines 19-22.


                           amendment no. 2383

       On page 28, line 18, change the roman number from 
     ``$199,000'' to ``$208,000''.

  Mr. BYRD. Mr. President, the amendment corrects the amount provided 
for cyclical maintenance of tribally owned fish hatcheries and related 
facilities.


                           amendment no. 2384

       On page 29, line 29, strike ``on July 1'' and insert in 
     lieu thereof ``not later than July 31''.

  Mr. BYRD. Mr. President, the amendment corrects the date by which 
payments are to be made for grants to operate Bureau of Indian Affairs 
schools, pursuant to Public Law 100-197. The change is necessary 
because funds become available for obligation on July 1 and it is not 
possible to actually make payments on the same day. The amendment 
allows payments to be made as soon as possible, but not later than July 
31.


                           amendment no. 2385

       At the end of Title I, General Provisions, add the 
     following new section:
       Sec.   . Notwithstanding any other provision of law, in 
     fiscal year 1995 and thereafter, appropriations made to the 
     Department of the Interior in this Title may be used to fund 
     incrementally research work orders for cooperative agreements 
     with colleges and universities, state agencies, and non-
     profit organizations that overlap fiscal years: Provided, 
     That such cooperative agreements shall contain a statement 
     that ``the obligation of funds for future incremental 
     payments shall be subject to the availability of funds''.

  Mr. BYRD. Mr. President, the purpose of this amendment is to clarify 
that the Interior Department may fund research work orders 
incrementally, so long as the agreement makes clear that the obligation 
of funds for future incremental payments is subject to the availability 
of funds. The types of projects covered by these research work orders 
are usually multiyear efforts, and the funding is provided usually over 
the course of the project, rather than in total at the start of the 
project. Questions have surfaced in reviews by the Comptroller General 
about the use of these types of agreement, and the language will allow 
current methods of funding multiyear research to continue.


                           amendment no. 2386

       On page 47, line 7 linetype: ``by the General Services 
     Administration''.

  Mr. BYRD. Mr. President, this amendment will allow service and rental 
contracts to be executed for a 12-month period at any time during the 
fiscal year, and for the funds used for such purposes to be available 
for obligation over the course of the 12-month contract. Similar 
authority in the past had been limited to contracts with the General 
Services Administration. The language will also help to distribute the 
workload for the processing of contracts over the course of the fiscal 
year.


                           amendment no. 2387

       On page 69, line 12 after the colon add the following: 
     ``Provided further, That within the funds provided, $250,000 
     shall be available for the recruitment and training of 
     American Indians for graduate training in the field of 
     psychology, as authorized in section 217 of the Indian Health 
     Care Improvement Act of 1992, Public Law 102-573.''

  Mr. BURNS. Mr. President, I thank the managers of the bill for the 
acceptance of the amendment that was sponsored by Senator Dorgan and 
Senator Inouye and myself.
  This amendment that we have proposed and was accepted by both sides 
will not add any money to the bill and it is for an authorized 
purpose. The amendment sets aside $250,000 from within available travel 
funds for the recruitment and training of Native Americans for graduate 
training in the field of psychology. The Indian Health Service already 
trains its own employees and recruits and trains health professionals 
for service on the reservations so this is not a new purpose. This 
activity is authorized by section 217 of the Indian Health Care 
Improvement Act so these funds would be spent for an authorized 
purpose.

  Mr. President, the need for additional mental health services among 
the Native American population is well known and well documented. The 
suicide rate of young adult male American Indians on the reservation is 
three times the Nation's average. The death rate from injuries and 
alcoholism are both over two times the national average and both appear 
to be related to the high incidence of depression in Indian 
communities. Depression is often complicated by the use of alcohol and 
other substance abuse which contribute to a high incidence of violent 
behaviors, including child physical and sexual abuse, assault, and 
homicide.
  Mr. President, Chairman Byrd and the committee have recognized these 
problems by adding $2,000,000 for mental health services within the 
Indian Health Service ``to begin'' and I quote from our report 
``implementing programs to address the significant needs in the areas 
of child sexual abuse and prevention.'' This is exactly the kind of 
problem my amendment will further address.
  Psychologists are exactly the kind of health care professional that 
can intervene and prevent these behavioral problems. Native American 
psychologists can tailor make these services to be culturally 
appropriate. The non-Indian psychologists may not be aware of the 
cultural values, lifestyles, family practices, developmental 
progressions, and the needs of their American Indian clients.
  Mr. President, there are only 27 American Indian psychologists in the 
clinical counseling area. My amendment would help address this shortage 
and help address the pervasive and devastating mental health needs of 
our Native Americans.
  I appreciate the Chair's support in this and, of course, he knows how 
to address his problems in his home State.
  Again, I thank the managers of this bill for the acceptance of this 
amendment and thank the Senator from West Virginia for his efforts and 
leadership in this area.
  I yield the floor.


                           amendment no. 2388

       Linetype beginning on page 40, line 23 through page 41, 
     line 11, and insert in lieu thereof the following:
       For expenses necessary for the Department of the Interior 
     in administration of the Trust Territory of the Pacific 
     Islands pursuant to the Trusteeship Agreement approved by 
     joint resolution of July 18, 1947 (61 Stat. 397), and the Act 
     of June 30, 1954 (68 Stat. 330), as amended (90 Stat. 299; 91 
     Stat. 1159; 92 Stat. 495), and grants to the Trust Territory 
     of the Pacific Islands, in addition to local revenues, for 
     support of governmental functions, $19,838,000 to be 
     available until expended, including $18,464,000 for 
     operations of the Government of Palau: Provided, That all 
     financial transactions of the Trust Territory, including such 
     transactions of all agencies or instrumentalities established 
     or utilized by such Trust Territory, may be audited by the 
     General Accounting Office, at its discretion, in accordance 
     with chapter 35 of title 31, United States Code: Provided 
     further, That all Government operations funds appropriated 
     and obligated for the Republic of Palau under this account 
     for fiscal year 1995, except for $692,000 for special 
     programs, shall be credited as an off-set against fiscal year 
     1995 payments made pursuant to the Compact of Free 
     Association (Public Law 99-658), if such Compact is 
     implemented before October 1, 1995: Provided further, That 
     not less than $300,000 of the grants to the Republic of 
     Palau, for support of governmental functions, shall be 
     dedicated to the College of Micronesia in accordance with the 
     agreement between the Micronesian entities.

  Mr. BYRD. Mr. President, the purpose of this amendment is to provide 
for ongoing operations of the Government of Palau in the event the 
Compact of Free Association for Palau is not implemented prior to the 
start of fiscal year 1995. The budget assumed that the Palau Compact 
would be implemented prior to fiscal year 1995, but delays to date 
suggest that this might not occur. The Congressional Budget Office and 
Office of Management and Budget have indicated that there will be no 
scoring implication if this language is adopted.


                           amendment no. 2389

       On page 41, line 18 before the semi-colon, insert the 
     following: ``: Provided, That the effective date of the Palau 
     Compact for purposes of economic assistance pursuant to the 
     Palau Compact of Free Association, Public Law 99-658, shall 
     be the effective date of the Palau Compact as determined 
     pursuant to section 101 of Public Law 101-219''.
       And, on page 41, line 23 strike ``$7,556,000'' and insert 
     ``$1,490,000''.

  Mr. BYRD. Mr. President, the purpose of this amendment is to provide 
for ongoing operations of the Government of Palau in the event the 
Compact of Free Association for Palau is not implemented prior to the 
start of fiscal year 1995. The budget assumed that the Palau Compact 
would be implemented prior to fiscal year 1995, but delays to date 
suggest that this might not occur. This amendment reduces funding in 
the Compact account in order to provide funding in the Trust Territory 
appropriation. The Congressional Budget Office and Office of Management 
and Budget have indicated that there will be no scoring implication if 
this language is adopted.

                           amendment no. 2390

       On page 74, line 13, before the period insert the 
     following: ``: Provided, further, That money collected for 
     meals served at Indian Health Service facilities will be 
     credited to the appropriations from which the services were 
     furnished and shall be credited to the appropriation when 
     received''.

  Mr. DeCONCINI. Mr. President, the Indian Health Service [IHS] cannot 
retain cash collected from occasional meals served at IHS facilities to 
offset the cost of food prepared because it's statutory authority to 
retain payments for meals is limited to payments made by employee 
payroll deductions. This amendment authorizes IHS to retain cash 
payments for meals on the same basis as payroll-deduction meal 
payments.


                           amendment no. 2391

       On page 28, line 18, add $2,000,000 to the italicized 
     number.
       On page 62, line 21, reduce the amount by $2,550,000.

  Mr. DORGAN. Mr. President, the amendment increases funding for the 
operation on Indian programs by $2,000,000 and reduces funding for the 
naval petroleum and oil shale reserves by $2,550,000. Within the 
funding provided for the operation of Indian programs, the increase of 
$2,000,000 is included for the Indian Child Protection and Family 
Violence Prevention Act which is part of Human Services under other 
recurring programs. The reduction for the naval petroleum and oil shale 
reserves of $2,550,000 is to be derived from prior year unobligated 
balances for naval petroleum reserve No. 1.


                           amendment no. 2392

       On page 18, line 12, reduce the amount by $1,500,000.
       On page 16, line 19, increase the amount by $900,000.

  Mrs. KASSEBAUM. Mr. President, the purpose of the amendment is to 
reduce the amount provided for emergencies and hardships in the 
National Park Service land acquisition account to the same amount as 
included in the House bill. A portion of the reduced funds would then 
be transferred to the national recreation and preservation account for 
an initiative to establish an inter-connected network amongst a series 
of eight historic frontier military forts in Kansas. While the budget 
authority transferred is different, the outlays remain neutral and are 
offset fully.


                           amendment no. 2393

       On page 53, line 1, strike out ``$68,893,000'' and insert 
     in lieu thereof ``$70,367,000''.
       On page 53, line 3, strike out ``150,341,000'' and insert 
     in lieu thereof ``$148,867,000''.

  Mrs. MURRAY. Mr. President, this amendment shifts $1,474,000 from 
increased funding provided in the bill for road construction at the 
Mount St. Helens National Volcanic Monument to facility construction at 
the same location. This reallocation will contribute toward completion 
of the Johnston Ridge Observatory.


                           AMENDMENT NO. 2394

       On page 74, line 13, before the period, insert the 
     following: ``: Provided further, That notwithstanding any 
     other provision of law, any locality qualified to select land 
     as a Native village under the Alaska Native Claims Settlement 
     Act (Public Law 92-203 as amended) shall be eligible to 
     participate in the sanitation facilities program: Provided 
     further, That such villages shall apply consistent with the 
     sanitation facilities priorities process: Provided further, 
     That any funds provided pursuant to such authority shall not 
     exceed the pro rata share of the cost of the project 
     commensurate with the percentage of Alaska Natives in the 
     population of the affected community''.

  Mr. STEVENS. Mr. President, the Public Health Service [PHS] in Alaska 
has recently adopted a policy of exclusion from its service programs of 
any Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act [ANCSA] village which does not 
presently have a majority of Natives as residents.
  This amendment would require the PHS to consider as eligible, on a 
pro rata share commensurate with the percentage of Alaska Natives in 
the community, any village which was qualified as an ANCSA village. The 
combination of two ANCSA provisions, core township selection and ANCSA 
village tax exemption, essentially leave these villages without a tax 
base. This lack of a tax base occurs regardless of whether the Native 
population is in the majority or the minority.
  The city of Craig is an example that has recently experienced non-
Native population growth. The city is comprised of approximately 4,200 
acres, of which the Native corporations own approximately 4,000 acres. 
The tax base, however, remains the approximately 200 acres not owned by 
the Native corporations within the municipality.


excepted committee amendment on page 48, line 16, through page 49, line 
                                   7

  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The question now recurs on the committee 
amendment on page 48, line 16.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from West Virginia.
  Mr. BYRD. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the pending 
excepted committee amendment be set aside and I be permitted to call up 
an amendment for consideration.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.


                           amendment no. 2395

  Mr. BYRD. Mr. President, I send to the desk an amendment.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will report the amendment.
  The legislative clerk read as follows:

       The Senator from West Virginia [Mr. Byrd] proposes an 
     amendment numbered 2395.

  The amendment is as follows:

       At the end of title III of the bill, insert the following 
     new section:
       Sec.  . Notwithstanding any other provision of law in 
     fiscal year 1995 and thereafter, appropriations made 
     available to the Department of the Interior or Forest 
     Service, Department of Agriculture shall be available to 
     reimburse the representative (as that term is defined by 
     applicable law) of employees who die in the line of duty in 
     the last quarter of fiscal year 1994, and in subsequent 
     fiscal years, for burial costs and related out-of-pocket 
     expenses: Provided, That the amount of such reimbursement may 
     exceed the $800 limitation in 5 U.S.C. 8134(a).

  Mr. BYRD. Mr. President, the purpose of this amendment, as we might 
understand from the reading thereof, is to provide authority to the 
Department of the Interior and the Department of Agriculture to pay the 
burial costs and related out-of-pocket expenses for employees who died 
in the line of duty.
  The current limit of $800 for such expenses was established in 1960 
and has not been raised subsequently.
  The amendment will provide compensation to the families of the 
firefighters who have died in recent weeks.
  I yield the floor.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Who seeks recognition?
  Mr. BYRD. Mr. President, I ask for the yeas and nays on the pending 
amendment.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there a sufficient second?
  There is a sufficient second.
  The yeas and nays were ordered.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from West Virginia.
  Mr. BYRD. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the vote on the 
amendment to provide compensation to the families of firefighters occur 
today at 3:30 p.m.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  Mr. BYRD. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that no amendments 
in the second degree be in order to the amendment dealing with 
firefighters compensation which amendment will be voted on shortly at 
3:30 p.m. today.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  Mr. BURNS. Mr. President, may I comment on the amendment?
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Montana.
  Mr. BURNS. Mr. President, if I may comment on the amendment for the 
firefighters, and I thank the chairman of the Appropriations Committee 
for recognizing what these families have to go through.
  I want to just remind this body and this committee that when I first 
went West back in 1953, I was on a firefighting crew on the fire up in 
Houston, MT, at the 9-mile ranger station. We lost a firefighter on 
that fire. I have been on two or three of those things and have seen 
the devastation they can cause to the families of those lost.
  There was a young man from Hamilton, MT, Mr. Mackey, who was lost in 
that fire.
  Yes, there will be a lot of questions that will be asked and there 
will be a lot of questions that cannot be answered. But those men and 
women who take on the task in our national forests for not only fire 
prevention but fire suppression are all on the front lines today.
  We have fires raging in northern California, in Oregon, and 
Washington. We are dry in Montana. We are just a tinderbox right now in 
Montana. If we have any really strong lightning, we are going to be in 
trouble in our State. In fact, we are drier now than we were in 1988, 
and I think the Chair and this body remembers the fires of 1988 across 
Montana.
  So I thank the chairman for his thoughtfulness and his leadership on 
this. I congratulate those men and women who put their lives on the 
front line of these fires, which are going on now in the Western United 
States, for the protection of our forests.
  I yield the floor and I suggest the absence of a quorum.
  The legislative clerk proceeded to call the roll.
  Mr. BYRD. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the order for 
the quorum call be rescinded.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. Mathews). Without objection, it is so 
ordered.
  Mr. BYRD. Mr. President, I move that the Sergeant at Arms be 
instructed to request the attendance of absent Senators. The yeas and 
nays have been ordered.

                          ____________________
