  Mr. CHAFEE. Mr. President, today the Committee on Environment and 
Public Works is reporting a bill, S. 797, the John F. Kennedy Center 
Parking Lot Improvement Act, as ordered reported on June 5, 1997. I am 
also filing a technical amendment to the bill which corrects a 
potential problem with respect to the funding of any large screen 
format equipment for an interpretive theater for the Kennedy Center. 
The purpose of the amendment is to ensure that the Board of Trustees of 
the Kennedy Center are prohibited from using appropriated funds for 
acquisition of such equipment.
