 CORRECTING ENROLLMENT OF H.R. 2348, AUTHORIZING BUREAU OF RECLAMATION 
  TO PROVIDE COST SHARING FOR ENDANGERED FISH RECOVERY IMPLEMENTATION 
                      PROGRAMS FOR UPPER COLORADO

  Mr. WALDEN of Oregon. Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent to take 
from the Speaker's table the Senate concurrent resolution (S. Con. Res. 
151) to make a correction in the enrollment of the bill, H.R. 2348, and 
ask for its immediate consideration in the House.
  The Clerk read the title of the Senate concurrent resolution.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mr. Bliley). Is there objection to the 
request of the gentleman from Oregon?
  There was no objection.
  The Clerk read the Senate concurrent resolution, as follows:

                            S. Con. Res. 151

       Resolved by the Senate (the House of Representatives 
     concurring), That in the enrollment of the bill (H.R. 2348) 
     entitled ``An Act to authorize the Bureau of Reclamation to 
     provide cost sharing for the endangered fish recovery 
     implementation programs for the Upper Colorado and San Juan 
     River Basins.'', the Clerk of the House of Representatives 
     shall make the following correction:
       Strike section 4 and insert:

     ``SEC. 4. EFFECT ON RECLAMATION LAW.

       ``Specifically with regard to the acreage limitation 
     provisions of Federal reclamation law, any action taken 
     pursuant to or in furtherance of this title will not--
       ``(1) be considered in determining whether a district as 
     defined in section 202(2) of the Reclamation Reform Act of 
     1982 (43 U.S.C. 390bb) has discharged its obligation to repay 
     the construction cost of project facilities used to make 
     irrigation water available for delivery to land in the 
     district;
       ``(2) serve as the basis for reinstating acreage limitation 
     provisions in a district that has completed payment of its 
     construction obligations; or
       ``(3) serve as the basis for increasing the construction 
     repayment obligation of the district and thereby extending 
     the period during which the acreage limitation provisions 
     will apply.''.

  The Senate concurrent resolution was concurred in.
  A motion to reconsider was laid on the table.
