                     MAJOR LEGISLATIVE INITIATIVES

Comprehensive Energy Policy Legislation
    During the 108th Congress, both the Senate and the House of 
Representatives passed comprehensive energy policy legislation 
dealing with energy conservation and efficiency, energy 
research and development, renewable, hydrogen, oil, gas, coal, 
and nuclear energy resources, vehicle efficiency, and 
electricity regulation and infrastructure. The principle 
legislative vehicle was H.R. 6, a bill to enhance energy 
conservation and research and development, to provide for 
security and diversity in the energy supply for the American 
people, and for other purposes. The Committee of the Whole 
House on the State of the Union began consideration of H.R. 6 
on April 10, 2003, and the House of Representatives passed it 
on April 11, 2003. H.R. 6 was placed on the Senate Calendar on 
May 6, 2003, without referral to committee.
    While no comprehensive energy bills comparable in scope

    The Committee held a hearing on a variety of legislative 
proposals regarding electricity, including S. 475, on March 27, 
2003. S. Hrg. 108-57.
    The Committee conducted business meetings to consider 
comprehensive energy policy legislation on April 8, 9, 10, 29, 
and 30, 2003. On April 30, 2003, the Committee voted to report 
favorably an original bill. On May 6, 2003, the original bill 
was reported to the Senate as S. 1005. S. Rept. 108-43. In 
addition, on April 30, 2003, the text of the original bill, as 
ordered reported, was introduced by Chairman Domenici as S. 14. 
On May 1, 2003, S. 14 was read the second time and placed on 
the Senate Legislative Calendar
    On May 6, 2003, the Senate proceeded to S. 14 by unanimous 
consent. The Senate debated S. 14 on May 8, 9, and 13, and June 
2, 3, 4, 5, 9, 10, 11, and 12, and July 24, 25, 28, 29, 30, and 
31. Over the course of the debate, the Senate agreed to 
approximately 20 amendments to S. 14. On July 31, 2003, Senator 
Frist introduced Amendment 1537, containing the text of H.R. 4 
from the 107th Congress, as passed by the Senate on April 25, 
2002.
    On July 31, 2003, the Senate, by unanimous consent, agreed 
to strike the text of H.R. 6 as passed by the House and insert 
in its place the text of the Senate amendment to H.R. 4 from 
the 107th Congress (Amendment 1537). The Senate then passed 
H.R. 6 as amended by Amendment 1537. S. 14 was returned to the 
legislative calendar.
    The Senate asked for, and the House agreed to, a 
conference. The conference met on September 5 and November 17, 
2003. On November 18, 2003, the conference report was filed. H. 
Rept. 108-375. The House passed the conference report on 
November 18, 2003. The Senate began consideration of the 
conference report on November 19, 2003. On November 21, 2003, 
the Senate rejected a motion to end debate. Senator Frist 
entered a motion to reconsider the vote by which the motion to 
end debate failed, but the Senate took no further action on the 
motion to reconsider or the conference report during the 
remainder of the 109th Congress.
    On February 12, 2004, Senator Domenici introduced S. 2095, 
the Energy Policy Act of 2003, which consisted of the text of 
the conference report on H.R. 6, with certain provisions 
eliminated. No further action was taken on S. 2095.
Alaska Land Transfers
    The Department of the Interior's Bureau of Land Management 
(BLM) is responsible for meeting the Federal Government's 
commitment to convey nearly 150 million acres of Alaska's 365 
million-acre land base to Alaska Natives and others under a 
complex series of laws, including the Native Allotment Act of 
1906, the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act, and the Alaska 
Statehood Act. Over the last century, these laws have been 
amended, superceded, and reinterpreted by judicial review many 
times, resulting in conflict and delays in the completion of 
transfers of land to their rightful owners. The Alaska Native 
community and the State of Alaska worked with the Alaska 
Congressional delegation and the Department of Interior on 
technical changes to the various Alaska land transfer laws that 
would give the BLM the tools it needs to resolve the remaining 
Alaska land claims in a fair and expeditious manner.
    The suggested changes were reflected in S. 1466, introduced 
by Senator Murkowski on July 25, 2003. A field hearing on S. 
1466 was held in Anchorage, Alaska, on August 6, 2003. S. Hrg. 
108-163. A hearing was held by the Subcommittee on Public Lands 
and Forests on February 12, 2004. S. Hrg. 108-416. On October 
10, 2004, S. 1466 was discharged from the Committee and passed 
by the Senate with an amendment in the nature of a substitute.
    On November 17, 2004, S. 1466 passed the House of 
Representatives without amendment, and was signed into law on 
December 10, 2004. Public Law 108-452.
The Gila Water Settlement
    The Committee favorably reported the Arizona Water 
Settlements Act of 2004 (S. 437) which was signed into law by 
President Bush on December 12, 2004. S. 437 authorizes and 
funds the settlement of a number of water issues in central 
Arizona. These issues involve to a large extent, the Central 
Arizona Project (CAP), a federally-developed water project 
authorized in 1968 to deliver approximately 1.5 million acre-
feet of Colorado River water annually to central Arizona. The 
resolution of these CAP-related issues also results in two 
Indian water rights settlements which are authorized by this 
Act. These settlements will benefit the Gila River Indian 
Community and the Tohono O'odham Nation.
    The Act settles the water rights claims of the Gila River 
Indian Community in the Gila River adjudication-a case 
currently pending before the state district court in Arizona. 
The claims, in terms of water quantity, are among the largest 
filed by the United States on behalf of an Indian tribe in a 
water rights adjudication. This part of the bill is 
particularly noteworthy because the certainty associated with 
resolving the Community's water rights claims is key to 
ensuring that the bill's allocation of 197,500 acre-feet of CAP 
water for Arizona Indian tribes is a sufficient amount of 
water, not only for the Community, but for aiding in resolution 
of other Indian water rights claims in Arizona.
    The Settlement also resolves a number of long-standing 
issues associated with a Federal court decree concerning water 
use in the upper Gila River in Arizona and the Virden Valley in 
New Mexico. The 1935 decree, issued in a suit known as the 
Globe Equity case, has been the basis for ongoing litigation 
concerning its interpretation. The Act will resolve several of 
the issues in Globe Equity litigation and will therefore 
benefit a number of the upper Gila River water users. The 
Settlement also resolves certain issues concerning the rights 
of New Mexico water users to divert additional water in the 
upper Gila River system as authorized in the 1968 Colorado 
River Basin Project Act.
    The Act provides a substitute amendment to the original 
Southern Arizona Water Rights Settlement Act (SAWRSA) that was 
enacted by Congress in 1982. The Act resolves asserted 
ambiguities in the existing law and assures dismissal of the 
pending lawsuits. It also spells out specific benefits for the 
San Xavier allottee interests.
Calfed Bay-Delta Program
    The Committee's consideration of major legislation to 
reauthorize the Calfed Bay-Delta Program resulted in the 
enactment of Public Law No. 108-361 on October 25, 2004. The 
Calfed Bay-Delta Program addresses water resource management 
issues in the California Bay-Delta, the region located east of 
the San Francisco Bay, where the San Joaquin and Sacramento 
Rivers converge. The Bay-Delta is the hub of two massive water 
projects, the Central Valley Project, operated by the U.S. 
Bureau of Reclamation, and the State Water Project, operated by 
the California Department of Water Resources. The stated 
mission of the Program ``is to develop and implement a long-
term comprehensive plan that will restore ecological health and 
improve water management for beneficial uses of the Bay-
Delta.'' The enacted legislation approves the August 28, 2000 
Record of Decision as a general framework for addressing the 
Calfed Bay-Delta Program. The Act further authorizes the 
Secretary of the Interior, and the heads of the Environmental 
Protection Agency, the Army Corps of Engineers, the Department 
of Commerce, the Department of Agriculture, and the Western 
Area Power Administration, to carry out the authorized 
activities in the areas of water storage; ecosystem 
restoration; water supply; conveyance; water use efficiency; 
water quality; water transfers; watersheds, Environmental Water 
Account; levee stability; governance; and science. The Act 
authorizes $389 million for the period of fiscal years 2005 
through 2010 for the Federal share of Calfed activities.
    Senator Feinstein introduced S. 1097, the ``Calfed Bay-
Delta Authorization Act,'' on May 21, 2003. On October 30, 
2003, the Senate Energy Committee's Subcommittee on Water and 
Power conducted a hearing on S. 1097. The bill was considered 
by the Committee at its business meeting on April 28, 2004. At 
the business meeting, the Energy Committee ordered S. 1097 
reported with an amendment in the nature of a substitute. The 
bill was placed on the Senate Legislative Calendar on May 20, 
2004.
    H.R. 2828, the ``Water Supply Reliability and Environmental 
Improvement Act,'' a House companion measure to S. 1097, was 
introduced by Representative Calvert on July 23, 2003. The 
House Resources Committee's Subcommittee on Water Resources and 
Environment held a hearing on H.R. 2828 on July 24, 2003. The 
bill was reported, with an amendment, by the Resources 
Committee on June 25, 2004. On the same day, the bill was 
discharged from the House Committee on Transportation.
    H.R. 2828 was passed by the House of Representatives on 
July 9, 2004 with an amendment in the nature of a substitute. 
On September 15, 2004, the Senate passed H.R. 2828 by unanimous 
consent with an amendment in the nature of a substitute. The 
House agreed to the Senate amendment on October 6, 2004. H.R. 
2828 was signed by the President on October 25, 2004 and became 
Public Law No. 108-361.
Compacts of Free Association
    The Committee's consideration of major legislation to renew 
and amend the existing Compacts of Free Association between the 
United States and the Republic of the Marshall Islands (US-RMI 
Compact) and the Federated States of Micronesia (US-FSM 
Compact), respectively, resulted in the enactment of Public Law 
No. 108-188 on December 17, 2003.
    In 1986, the United States entered into the initial Compact 
of Free Association with the RMI and FSM. The Compact 
transitioned the island nations from trust territories to 
sovereign self-governments. Although the Compact expired in 
late 2001, Congress authorized an extension through September 
30, 2003 to complete negotiations for its renewal. Public Law 
108-188, governs the relationship between the United States and 
the RMI and FSM over the 20-year period from 2004 to 2023. 
While the initial Compact encompassed both islands, the revised 
Compacts provide for separate agreements between the United 
States and the two islands. The revised Compacts provide 
approximately $3.5 billion in funding for the next 20 years for 
sector grants, contributions to trust funds to replace U.S. 
financial assistance after the Compacts' expiration, payments 
to extend the lease at the U.S. Army Base at Kwajalein Atoll, 
and the cost of certain domestic programs. The package also 
includes $30 million per year in ``Compact impact'' funding to
