                         BANKRUPTCY REFORM ACT

  Mr. LEAHY. Mr. President, I know we are going on to the bankruptcy 
bill later today. We made progress on the bill last week. We cleared 25 
amendments and improved the Bankruptcy Reform Act. We will continue to 
try to do that again today. The distinguished Senator from New Jersey, 
Senator Torricelli, and I, working with the distinguished deputy 
Democratic leader, the Senator from Nevada, are prepared to enter into 
a unanimous consent agreement to limit the remaining Democratic 
amendments to only 28 amendments. Most of these would limit us to very 
short time agreements. I will speak on this more this afternoon. I want 
Senators to know that.
