DJ Senate Energy Chairman Vows Elec Dereg Bill By July 4 Dow Jones News Service -- April 27, 2000 [Return to Headlines] By Bryan Lee WASHINGTON (Dow Jones)--The U.S. Senate Energy Committee will send electricity reform legislation to the full Senate before July 4, Sen. Frank Murkowski, R- Alaska, told reporters Thursday. The committee chairman made the pledge after holding the last of three legislative hearings to consider electric industry reform bills pending before Congress. Murkowski said the bill will focus on those issues the committee and interested parties agree on. The next step for the committee will be to develop a "spreadsheet" delineating those consensus issues. "We'll have a bill out of committee before the fourth of July," Murkowski said, when pressed for a timetable. However, Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott, R-Miss., has offered no assurances that he will make floor time available for debate of the measure, Murkowski said. The committee chairman said he has discussed the issue with Lott, and that the leader would consider the issue once the committee has indeed reported out a bill. -By Bryan Lee, Dow Jones Newswires, 202-862-6647, bryan.lee@dowjones.com (END) DOW JONES NEWS 04-27-00
