  DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR AND RELATED AGENCIES APPROPRIATIONS ACT, 
                                  1998

  The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mr. Snowbarger). Pursuant to House 
Resolution 181 and rule XXIII, the Chair declares the House in the 
Committee of the Whole House on the State of the Union for the further 
consideration of the bill, H.R. 2107.

                              {time}  1003


                     In the Committee of the Whole

  Accordingly the House resolved itself into the Committee of the Whole 
House on the State of the Union for the further consideration of the 
bill, H.R. 2107, making appropriations for the Department of the 
Interior and related agencies for the fiscal year ending September 30, 
1998, and for other purposes, with Mr. LaTourette in the chair.
  The Clerk read the title of the bill.
  The CHAIRMAN. When the Committee of the Whole rose on Thursday, July 
10, 1997, the bill had been read through page 76, line 7.
  Mr. REGULA. Mr. Chairman, I move to strike the last word.
  Mr. Chairman, the schedule, at least as we see it for the rest of the 
day, would be we will have two 15-minute votes immediately. One will be 
on the Klug-Miller-Foley amendment, and the second will be on the Royce 
amendment, and then we will go on to the balance of the bill. Our goal 
is to finish by 2 o'clock today, and I think if we can get some time 
limit agreements on the balance of the amendments, we will be able to 
do that and finish the bill.
  Other than that, following the two 15-minute votes there will not be 
a Journal vote, but following the two 15-minute votes we will then move 
to the Ehlers amendment. I believe there is 1 hour of time for that, 
and then we will try to keep moving, and as I said before, get this 
completed by 2 o'clock today.


          Sequential Votes Postponed in Committee of the Whole

  The CHAIRMAN. Pursuant to House Resolution 181, proceedings will now 
resume on those amendments on which further proceedings were postponed 
in the following order: Amendment No. 5 offered by the gentleman from 
Wisconsin [Mr. Klug]; and the amendment offered by the gentleman from 
California [Mr. Royce].


                  Amendment No. 5 Offered by Mr. Klug

  The CHAIRMAN. The unfinished business is the demand for a recorded 
vote on the amendment offered by the gentleman from Wisconsin [Mr. 
Klug] on which further proceedings were postponed and on which the noes 
prevailed by voice vote.
  The Clerk will redesignate the amendment.
  The text of the amendment is as follows:

       Amendment offered by Mr. Klug:
       Page 58, line 18, after the dollar amount, insert the 
     following: ``(increased by $292,000,000)''.


                             recorded vote

  The CHAIRMAN. A recorded vote has been demanded.
  A recorded vote was ordered.
  The vote was taken by electronic device, and there were--ayes 173, 
noes 243, not voting 18, as follows:

                             [Roll No. 264]
