[[Page S10592]]

concurrent resolution; which was considered and agreed to:

                            S. Con. Res. 151

       Resolved by the Senate (the House of Representatives 
     concurring), That, in the enrollment of the bill (H.R. 2348) 
     to authorize the Bureau of Reclamation to provide cost 
     sharing for the endangered fish recovery implementation 
     programs for the Upper Colorado and San Juan River Basins, 
     the Clerk of the House shall make the following correction: 
     Strike section 4 and insert:

     SEC. 4. EFFECT ON RECLAMATION LAW.

       Specifically with regard to the acreage limitation 
     provisions of Federal reclamation law, any action taken 
     pursuant to or in furtherance of this title will not:
       (1) be considered in determining whether a district as 
     defined in section 202(2) of the Reclamation Reform Act of 
     1982 (43 U.S.C. 390bb) has discharged its obligation to repay 
     the construction cost of project facilities used to make 
     irrigation water available for delivery to land in the 
     district;
       (2) serve as the basis for reinstating acreage limitation 
     provisions in a district that has completed payment of its 
     construction obligation; or
       (3) service as the basis for increasing the construction 
     repayment obligation of the district and thereby extending 
     the period during which the acreage limitation provisions 
     will apply.
