                           NOTICE OF HEARING


               committee on energy and natural resources

  Mr. DOMENICI. Mr. President, I would like to announce for the 
information of the Senate and the public that the following hearing has 
been scheduled before the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources.
  The hearing will be held on May 11, 2004, at 10 a.m. in room SD-366.
  The purpose of this hearing is to gain an understanding of the 
impacts and costs of last year's fires and then look forward to the 
potential 2004 fire season. The hearing will give all Committee members 
a solid understanding of the problems faced last year and what problems 
the agencies and the land they oversee may face this next season, 
including aerial fire fighting assets and crew, and overhead 
availability.
  Because of the limited time available for the hearings, witnesses may 
testify by invitation only. However, those wishing to submit written 
testimony for the hearing record should send two copies of their 
testimony to the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources, United 
States Senate, SD-364, Washington, D.C. 20510-6150.
  For further information, please contact Frank Gladies (202-224-2878) 
or Amy Millet (202-224-7556).
