The Senator from Alaska has filed a Greens Creek land exchange amendment. It is my understanding, since we both share a committee assignment relative to some 40 bills that are being held up, that there is also an intent to clear tonight some seven or eight bills that are currently being held in the House, and we hope that they could come over tonight and be accepted. I think Senator Bradley has been involved in directing as to whether or not that process will be cleared. I might add to the Senator from Arkansas that the Greens Creek amendment is also in that package. I might also add that the administration happens to support the Greens Creek amendment. I know of no opposition.
