        DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA APPROPRIATIONS ACT, 2002--Continued

  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. Under the previous order, the 
Senate will now resume consideration of H.R. 2944, which the clerk will 
report.
  The assistant legislative clerk read as follows:

       A bill (H.R. 2944) making appropriations for the government 
     of the District of Columbia and other activities chargeable 
     in whole or in part against the revenues of said district for 
     the fiscal year ending September 30, 2002, and for other 
     purposes.

  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. Under the previous order, the 
Senator from Virginia is recognized to offer an amendment, on which 
there shall be 60 minutes of debate.
  Mr. REID. Mr. President, I ask that we not go to the amendment for 
just a few minutes. Senator Landrieu is in the building and will be 
here momentarily. I think she should be present. I ask unanimous 
consent the Senator from New York be recognized for 5 minutes as in 
morning business.
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. Without objection, it is so 
ordered.
  The Senator from New York.
