Re: [GreenYes] ANWR vote

[Catherine Wilt <catwilt@utk.edu>]

Wayne, Roger, Greenyes:

It appears that the ANWR drilling issue is indeed tacked onto H.R. 10,
the Railroad Retirement Bill.  It looks like the pertinent amendment
may be S. Amndt. 2171, "To enhance energy conservation, research and
development, and to provide for security and diversity in the energy
supply for the American people, and for other purposes. "
Sponsor: Sen Lott, Trent- Latest Major Action: 11/29/2001
Cloture motion on Amendment SA 2171 presented in Senate.  Looking on
the various legislative websites, I am unable to get full text, only
tables of content.

It DOES look like this is coming up for a vote this afternoon, around
5:00 pm. The Senate's calendar shows debate on the amendment as scheduled
for 5:15.   Very sneaky....
