Mr. NUNN

Mr. NUNN. Mr. President, we favor the Craig amendment on this side, and I recommend it be accepted.

Mr. NUNN

Mr. NUNN. Mr. President, I urge adoption of the amendment.

Mr. NUNN. The Senator from Wyoming, Senator Simpson, is exactly correct on this matter. We have the letter in from William A. Navas, Jr., Major General, U.S. Army, Director, Army National Guard. The Senator from Wyoming has already read the letter. He basically says that 33 urgently required projects were inadvertently omitted from the list that was submitted. The reason this project was not included to begin with was because it did not meet the criteria because it was not in the 5-year defense plan. This letter says that was an error. So I just want to make it clear that what the Senator has said, from my perspective and the perspective from this side of the aisle, is exactly right. This would have been part of the list had it been listed as is now listed by General Navas, Major General, U.S. Army, Director, Army National Guard. Mr. THOMAS addressed the Chair.

Mr. NUNN. That is fine.

Mr. NUNN. I move to lay that motion on the table. The motion to lay on the table was agreed to. Amendment No. 4076 (Purpose: To amend the reporting requirement under demonstration project for purchase of fire, security, police, public works, and utility services from local government agencies)

Mr. NUNN. I urge adoption of the amendment.

Mr. NUNN. Mr. President, I urge adoption of the amendment.

Mr. NUNN. I move to lay that motion on the table. The motion to lay on the table was agreed to. Amendment No. 4067 (Purpose: To provide for the designation of a memorial as the National D-Day Memorial)

Mr. NUNN. I move to lay that motion on the table. The motion to lay on the table was agreed to. Amendment No. 4074 (Purpose: To revise and improve the authority for research projects under transactions other than contracts and grants and for certain cooperative research and development agreements)

Mr. NUNN. Mr. President, on behalf of Senator Bingaman, for himself and Senator Smith, I offer an amendment which would revise the legislation governing the use of cooperative agreements and innovative transaction authorities under section 2371 of title X, United States Code. The revisions are supported by the Department of Defense. And I believe this amendment has also been cleared by the Republican side of the aisle.

Mr. NUNN. Mr. President, I urge adoption of the amendment.

Mr. NUNN. Mr. President, I move to reconsider the vote by which the amendment was agreed to.

Mr. NUNN. Mr. President, if I could ask the Chair, would the proper motion be that we proceed immediately to a rollcall vote? As I understand it, we do not have any more time on this. We basically have an order for an 8 o'clock vote.

Mr. NUNN. Mr. President, I urge adoption of the amendment, as amended.

Mr. NUNN. I move to lay that motion on the table. The motion to lay on the table was agreed to. Amendment No. 4077 (Purpose: To authorize agreements with Indian tribes for services under the Defense Environmental Restoration Program)

Mr. NUNN. Mr. President, may I inquire of the Senator from Virginia whether he anticipates other rollcall votes tonight beyond this one?

Mr. NUNN. I believe we object to moving up of the time. I think we need to delay the clock.

Mr. NUNN. I move to lay that motion on the table. The motion to lay on the table was agreed to. Amendment No. 4072 to Amendment No. 4061

Mr. NUNN. Mr. President, on behalf of Senator Byrd, for himself, Senators Ford and Feinstein, I offer an amendment which would authorize the Air National Guard to retain 10 C-130 aircraft in each of the five National Guard C-130 squadrons. I believe this amendment has been cleared on the other side.

Mr. NUNN. I believe the Senator from Idaho has the explanation.

Mr. NUNN. I move to lay that motion on the table. The motion to lay on the table was agreed to. Amendment No. 4068 (Purpose: To increase authorizations of appropriations for the Air National Guard by $8,700,000 for support of 10 primary authorized C-130 aircraft for each airlift squadron in the Air National Guard of Kentucky, West Virginia, North Carolina, Tennessee, and California; and to increase various personnel end strength authorizations by 385 for support of such aircraft)

Mr. NUNN. Mr. President, I move to reconsider the vote.

Mr. NUNN. I urge adoption of the amendment.

Mr. NUNN. Mr. President, I urge its adoption.

Mr. NUNN. Mr. President, I move to reconsider the vote.
