A message dated April 27, 1996, was read stating the Senate has                
passed CSHJR 59(RES) with the following amendment:                             
                                                                               
SENATE CS FOR CS FOR HOUSE JOINT RESOLUTION NO.                               
59(RES)                                                                        
Respectfully requesting the Environmental Protection Agency to                
issue a final National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System                  
permit for Cook Inlet oil and gas operations that omits the                    
incremental  permittee  monitoring  and  reporting  obligations

HJR 59                                                                       
identified in the Agency's draft permit and, consistent with the              
philosophy of the Agency's 1996 National Water Program Agenda,                 
allows the permittees to operate under pollutant discharge                     
monitoring and reporting requirements that are not more rigorous               
than those requirements of the Cook Inlet National Pollutant                   
Discharge Elimination System permit in place.                                  
                                                                               
CSHJR 59(RES) is under Unfinished Business.
