   TO AMEND THE OMNIBUS PARKS AND PUBLIC LANDS MANAGEMENT ACT OF 1996

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the Energy 
Committee be discharged from further consideration of H.R. 1606 and the 
Senate proceed to its consideration.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered. The clerk 
will report the bill by title.
  The legislative clerk read as follows:

       A bill (H.R. 1606) to amend section 507 of the Omnibus 
     Parks and Public Lands Management Act of 1996 to authorize 
     additional appropriations for historically black colleges and 
     universities, to decrease the matching requirement related to 
     such appropriations, and for other purposes.

  There being no objection, the Senate proceeded to consider the bill.
  Mr. REID. Mr. President, I understand Senator Bingaman has a 
technical amendment at the desk. I ask unanimous consent that the 
amendment be considered and agreed to, the motion to reconsider be laid 
on the table, the bill be read three times, passed, the motion to 
reconsider be laid on the table, and any statements related thereto be 
printed in the Record.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  The amendment (No. 4984) was agreed to, as follows:
       On page 3, line 14, strike ``such sums as may be 
     necessary'' and insert ``a total of $10 million for fiscal 
     years 2003 and 2004.''

  The bill (H.R. 1606), as amended, was read the third time and passed.
