          NATURAL RESOURCES MANAGEMENT ACT--MOTION TO PROCEED

  Ms. MURKOWSKI. Madam President, this next vote is one to invoke 
cloture on the motion to proceed to S. 47. This is the Natural 
Resources Management Act. This is our long-talked-about bipartisan 
lands package.
  We have a measure in front of us that is composed of over 100 smaller 
lands, resources, and water bills. We have included priorities from up 
to 50 Senators here in this body; 90 of you have cosponsored.
  We reauthorized the Land and Water Conservation Fund. We addressed 
sportsmen's priorities. We have a wide range of land exchanges and 
conveyances and boundary modifications, water provisions. It creates 
new economic opportunities and improves the management of our Federal 
lands.
  We will be talking more about this in the next couple of days, but I 
encourage all Members to support us on this very, very important lands 
package.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from West Virginia.
  Mr. MANCHIN. Madam President, first of all, I want to echo what my 
colleague said. Senator Cantwell has worked hard the last 2 years or 3 
years on this process.
  The lands bill was recently--
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. All time has expired.
  Mr. MANCHIN. Madam President, I ask unanimous consent to speak for 1 
minute.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection?
  Without objection, it is so ordered.
  Mr. MANCHIN. I am just saying that this is a piece of legislation 
that has been worked on for quite some time. It is a piece of 
legislation that basically does an awful lot for an awful lot of people 
all over this country.
  Every one of us has something in this that is good. Land and water 
conservation is basically reauthorized permanently. It is something 
that we worked hard on.
  I appreciate all of the hard work, and thank you so much, Madam 
President.


                             Cloture Motion
