MA) Amendment on Enforcement -- Approved by voice 
vote.  Another confusing vote, in which many members did not understand the 
changes being made, but agreed to it on the condition that clarifications be 
made before Senate floor action.  Late last night, Enron led a group 
including companies from INGAA and AGA in providing comments to Senator Kerry 
which caused him to make substantial changes to his amendment before it was 
voted on at markup, including dropping provisions allowing citizen suits and 
other troubling issues.   In the end, the amendment that passed was 
acceptable to industry.

4)  Sen. Sam Brownback (R-KS) amendment on Advisory Council Pilot Program -- 
Rejected 12 to 4.   Brownback's amendment would have replaced the Advisory 
Council Pilot Program as proposed in the substitute text with a requirement 
that already existing technical advisory committees to OPS be required to 
meet regionally.   There was a good debate on the issue, but Senator Gorton 
made a strong plea to members that the new Advisory Councils would only be a 
pilot program and would not have any binding role.   He also agreed to work 
with industry on improvements, such as representation of pipelines on the 
councils, before Senate floor action.

5)  Brownback amendment on State Role -- Rejected 10 to 9.   This amendment 
was written by Enron and El Paso, striking language from the bill that was 
overly broad in suggesting that a State had oversight authority over "other 
activities" beyond proper areas like accident investigation, 
construction-related activities, and inspection.   There was a heated debate, 
with Brownback and Breaux making excellent arguments for us, but in the end 
we were 1 vote short.  In fact 2 Democrats switched their votes at the last 
minute to tip the balance.   I have already had discussions with Senate staff 
after the markup indicating that this language will need to be fixed to our 
satisfaction before Senate floor action.

6)  Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR) amendment increasing public right-to-know
