S6645 

Vol. 141 WASHINGTON, MONDAY, MAY 15, 1995 No. 80 

Senate 

The Senate met at 9:30 a.m. and was 

called to order by the President pro 

tempore [Mr. THURMOND]. 

The PRESIDENT pro tempore. The 

Senate will be led in prayer by the Senate Chaplain, Dr. Lloyd John Ogilvie. 

PRAYER

The Chaplain, Dr. Lloyd John 

Ogilvie, offered the following prayer: 

Gracious God, whom to know is life’s 

ultimate purpose, whom to serve is our 

deepest joy, and whom to trust is our 

only lasting peace, we commit to You 

the work of this Senate. You have 

made praise the secret of opening our 

minds and hearts to You, the key to 

unlocking the mysteries of Your will, 

and the source of turning difficulties 

into opportunities. When we praise You 

for even life’s tight places and trying 

people, we are strangely liberated. You 

have made praise the highest form of 

commitment of our needs. 

So we begin this week with praise to 

You for the blessings we could neither 

deserve or earn and for the problems in 

which You will reveal Your supernatural guidance and power. 

We dedicate this week to be one in 

which we constantly give You praise in 

all things, especially the perplexities 

that force us to seek You and Your 

limitless grace. In Your Holy Name. 

Amen.

ALASKA POWER ADMINISTRATION 

ASSET SALE AND TERMINATION 

ACT—MOTION TO PROCEED 

Mr. DOLE. Mr. President, it will be 

my intention momentarily to move to 

proceed to consideration of S. 395, the 

Alaska Power Administration bill. I 

understand there are objections to proceeding to the bill at this time. Therefore, Members should be aware that 

rollcall votes are possible this morning 

and throughout the day. 

Mr. President, I move to proceed to 

consideration of S. 395, Calendar 111, 

the Alaska Power Administration bill. 

The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. 

BROWN). The question is on the motion. 

Is there objection? 

Mrs. MURRAY. I object. 

The PRESIDING OFFICER. Objection is heard. The Senator from Washington is recognized. 

Mrs. MURRAY. Mr. President, I do 

object to moving to this bill at this 

time, although I understand the underlying bill has much in it that is important. I do not want to keep us from 

moving toward that. Section 2 of this 

bill is extremely important, critical. It 

has been under the jurisdiction of the 

Banking Committee for the last several years that I know of that I have 

been here. It has not been debated in 

that committee and I believe it should 

go back to that committee to be looked 

at. 

It is an extremely important section 

that allows the lifting of the ban on oil 

for Alaska exports. It has tremendous 

impact to the west coast, and particularly to my State of Washington, as 

well as Oregon and California, and is a 

measure that should see much more 

light of day, particularly in the Banking Committee, before it is debated on 

this floor. 

Mr. President, I suggest the absence 

of a quorum. 

The PRESIDING OFFICER. The 

clerk will call the roll. 

The legislative clerk proceeded to 

call the roll. 

Mr. KYL. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the order for the 

quorum call be rescinded. 

The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without 

objection, it is so ordered. 

Mr. KYL. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent to proceed as in morning 

business. 

The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without 

objection, it is so ordered.

VISIT TO THE SENATE BY MEMBERS OF THE SENATE AND 

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES 

OF MEXICO 

Mr. KYL. Mr. President, I rise to introduce to you and to especially welcome representatives from the Mexican 

Senate and House of Representatives 

who met with us in Tucson this last 

weekend as the delegation of the 

United States-Mexico Interparliamentary Conference. 

It is my honor to present these ladies 

and gentlemen to you. I ask unanimous 

consent that each of their names be 

printed in the proceedings of the U.S. 

Senate, along with a copy of the joint 

communique, a communique that came 

out of that conference. 

There being no objection, the material was ordered to be printed in the 

RECORD, as follows:
