         CRANBERRY AMENDMENT TO AGRICULTURE APPROPRIATIONS BILL

  Mr. KOHL. Mr. President, I would like to clarify that during the 
passage of the Agriculture Appropriations bill last night, S. 1233, 
Senator Gordon Smith's amendment on cranberry marketing was adopted 
without the proper co-sponsorship. Mr. Smith's cranberry marketing 
amendment, begun by Senator Wyden, was to be co-sponsored by Senator 
Wyden and myself, as well as Senators Feingold, Kerry, Kennedy, and 
Murray.
  Mr. WYDEN. I Thank Senator Kohl. I appreciate the clarification and 
all his hard work on this issue of importance to cranberry growers 
across the country. When we go to conference on this bill, I will 
continue to support this amendment.
