“this amendment deals with Delaware and Susquehanna River Basin Commissions. It was offered by Senators Biden, Reid, and Roth. It would direct the Secretary of the Interior to provide compensation to the Federal representative to the Delaware and the Susquehanna River Basin Commissions, without indicating who that individual would be. The second-degree amendment makes the Secretary of the Interior, or his designee, the representative. It does not provide for compensation above that otherwise earned by that employee of the Department of the Interior. I trust that both amendments will be before the Senate at the same time. The second one is amendment No. 224.
