THE SENATE WILL RECONVENE AT 2:15 P.M. AND RESUME CONSIDERATION OF S. 3167, THE SOCIAL SECURITY PAY-AS-YOU-GO BILL. VOTES COULD OCCUR WITH RESPECT TO THAT BILL.

IT IS EXPECTED THAT THE SENATE WILL CONSIDER ANY AVAILABLE APPROPRIATIONS BILLS, AND POSSIBLY BEGIN CONSIDERATION OF S. 2100, THE VETERAN'S COMPENSATION COLA BILL. THEREFORE, VOTES CAN BE EXPECTED TO OCCUR. ALSO, LATER IN THE EVENING, IF RECEIVED FROM THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, THE SENATE COULD BE ASKED TO CONSIDER THE VETO MESSAGE TO ACCOMPANY THE TEXTILE BILL.

THURSDAY, OCTOBER 11 - FRIDAY, OCTOBER 12
THE SENATE CAN BE EXPECTED TO CONSIDER ANY AVAILABLE APPROPRIATIONS BILLS. THEREFORE, VOTES CAN BE EXPECTED TO OCCUR, AND LATE SESSIONS CAN BE ANTICIPATED. ALSO, THERE IS THE POSSIBILITY THAT THE SENATE COULD BE ASKED TO BE IN SESSION ON SATURDAY, IN ORDER TO CONSIDER APPROPRIATIONS BILLS, AND TO ALLOW THE BUDGET COMMITTEE TO REPORT THE RECONCILIATION BILL, UNDER THE PROVISIONS OF THE SENATE AMENDMENT ADDED TO THE C.R. LAST NIGHT.

MEMORANDUM
October 9, 1990
TO: SENATOR DOLE
FROM: JIM WHITTINGHILL
SUBJECT: CLEAN AIR CONFERENCE

Several Republican Senators are becoming disturbed with the product of the Clean Air Act Conference and may address the issue at today's Policy Lunch. The Senators include Simpson, Domenici, Bond, Nickels and Symms.
As you will recall, the President's position in the Senate was, in part, an overall cost not to exceed an annual cost of $20 billion plus 10%. The Council of Economic Advisors (which has scored the bill for the Administration from the outset) estimates the agreement to date is $36 billion.
The Conferees have reached agreement on about half of the Bill -- CFCs, permitting, nonattainment and most of mobile sources and fuels. Remaining issues include air toxics, acid rain and enforcement as well as a few specific issues such as visibility, OCS and the Wise Amendment (modified Byrd to pay displaced workers).
As an example of costs, in Kansas, Sunflower Electric Coop estimates that complying with only the permitting provisions will cost them $750,000 per year. KP&L estimates its costs for the same at $1.5 - $2 million.
There are little horror stories throughout the Bill -- the Senate has offered to drop or substantially gut the fertilizer provisions, dramatically changed the incinerator and related recycling provisions, etc. Generally, the Senate Conferees have proposed or attempted to agree to the most stringent and costly provisions of each Bill.
If you desire to chime in, I would suggest a shot across the bow of Chafee and Durenburger. If that fails -- veto.
