                  COMPREHENSIVE REGULATORY REFORM ACT

  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Under the previous order, the Senate will now 
resume consideration of S. 343, the regulatory reform bill, which the 
clerk will report.
  The legislative clerk read as follows:

       A bill (S. 343) to reform the regulatory process, and for 
     other purposes.

  The Senate resumed consideration of the bill.
  Mr. HATCH addressed the Chair.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Utah.
  Mr. HATCH. Mr. President, as I understand it, both Senator Roth and I 
would like to make statements on regulatory reform, but we deferred to 
Senator Kennedy. I say to the Senator from South Carolina, as I 
understood it, Senator D'Amato was going to make a short statement. 
Then could we go to the Senator right after that?
  Mr. HOLLINGS. Go right ahead on the opening statements.
  Mr. HATCH. We would be happy to go to Senator D'Amato and then to 
Senator Hollings, if we can, and then if we could make our statements, 
we would appreciate it.
  I ask unanimous consent that be the order.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  Mr. D'AMATO. Mr. President, let me thank my colleague from South 
Carolina and my colleague from Utah. I wish to be able to proceed as if 
in morning business and not interrupt the flow of agenda, and I will 
attempt to make my remarks succinct.
