           committee on agriculture, nutrition, and forestry

  Mr. COCHRAN. Mr. President, I announce that the Committee on 
Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry will conduct a meeting on June 18, 
2003 in SR-328A at 9 a.m. The purpose of this meeting will be to 
discuss the nomination of Thomas Dorr to be Under Secretary of 
Agriculture for Rural Development.


               committee on energy and natural resources

  Mr. DOMENICI. Mr. President, I would like to announce for the 
information of the Senate and the public that a hearing has been 
scheduled before the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources.
  The hearing will be held on Tuesday, June 24, at 10 a.m. in Room SD-
366 of the Dirksen Senate Office Building.
  This is the first in a series of hearings devoted to the improved 
understanding of the governance of the Department of Energy 
laboratories and approaches to optimize the capability of those 
laboratories to respond to national needs.
  The purpose of this first hearing is to evaluate changes over time in 
the relationship between the Department of Energy and its predecessors 
and contractors operating DOE laboratories and sites to determine if 
these changes have affected the ability of scientists and engineers to 
respond to national missions.
  Because of the limited time available for the hearings, witnesses may 
testify by invitation only. However, those wishing to submit written 
testimony for the hearing record should send two copies of their 
testimony to the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources, United 
States Senate, Washington, D.C. 20510-6150.
