             NORTHERN MARIANAS COVENANTS IMPLEMENTATION ACT

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, for the information of all Senators, 
Calendar Order No. 63, S. 507, is something Senator Akaka has been 
working on for a long time. It is the Northern Marianas Covenants 
Implementation Act. The majority leader has asked me to inform the 
Senate that he is going to move forward on this legislation sometime in 
the fall. This has been around a long time. We can't get consent to 
move forward, so we are going to move forward in the normal course.
