                WATER RESOURCES DEVELOPMENT ACT OF 2006

  Mr. FRIST. Mr. President, I ask that the Chair lay before the Senate 
a message from the House on H.R. 2864.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER laid before the Senate a message from the House 
of Representatives disagreeing to the amendment of the Senate to the 
bill (H.R. 2864) entitled ``an act to provide for the conservation and 
development of water and related resources, to authorize the Secretary 
of the Army to construct various projects for improvements to rivers 
and harbors of the United States, and for other purposes,'' and asks a 
conference with the Senate on the disagreeing votes of the two Houses 
thereon.
  Mr. FRIST. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the Senate 
insist on its amendment, agree to conference with the House, and the 
Chair be authorized to appoint conferees at a ratio of 7 to 5.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. Sessions) appointed Mr. Inhofe, Mr. 
Warner, Mr. Bond, Mr. Voinovich, Mr. Chafee, Ms. Murkowski, Mr. Vitter, 
Mr. Jeffords, Mr. Baucus, Mr. Lieberman, Mrs. Boxer, and Mr. Carper 
conferees on the part of the Senate.
