         INTERSTATE TRANSPORTATION OF MUNICIPAL SOLID WASTE ACT

  The Senate continued with the consideration of the bill.
   Mr. DOLE. I have just seen a list of amendments--10, 12, 13, 14 
amendments. I do not know why people are not here offering the 
amendments. We are going to be here today, and we are going to vote 
today, if we have to have Sergeant at Arms votes. People who wish to 
offer their amendments better come to the floor and offer their 
amendments. We want to finish this bill.
  I do not have any problem with the Senator speaking, because, as the 
Senator from Massachusetts said, there is nobody here to offer an 
amendment. But I say to my colleagues who have amendments, if you are 
going to offer them, come to the floor and offer your amendments. We 
have two managers here who do want to do business. They were here late 
last night. They were here early this morning. So I hope we can 
accommodate Senator Baucus and Senator Chafee and others who have 
primary responsibility for this legislation. It is important 
legislation. We ought to finish it, and I hope that by 4 or 5 o'clock 
we will be finished with the bill.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Massachusetts.
  Mr. KERRY. Mr. President, I thank the majority leader.
