                           REFERRAL OF S. 438

  Mr. HUTCHINSON. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the 
Committee on Energy and Natural Resources be discharged from further 
consideration of S. 438, ``To provide for the settlement of water 
rights claims of the Chippewa Cree Tribe of the Rocky Boy's 
Reservation, and for other purposes,'' that the measure be referred to 
the Committee on Indian Affairs and that at such time as the Committee 
on Indian Affairs reports the measure, it be referred to the Committee 
on Energy and Natural Resources for a period not to exceed 60 calendar 
days and that if the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources has not 
reported the measure prior to the expiration of the 60-calendar-day 
period, the Energy Committee be discharged from further consideration 
of the measure and that the measure then be placed on the calendar.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.

                          ____________________
