         TAUNTON RIVER WILD AND SCENIC RIVER STUDY ACT OF 1999

 Mr. KERRY. Mr. President, I rise to introduce the Taunton 
River Wild and Scenic River Study Act of 1999. The bill directs the 
Secretary of the Interior to study the Taunton River in Massachusetts 
for potential addition to the National Wild and Scenic Rivers Systems. 
The Taunton River is ecologically and historically significant, and 
this legislation is supported by local officials and residents. Senator 
Kennedy is joining this bill as an original cosponsor.
