By 81 yeas to 15 nays (Vote No. 345), three-fifths of those Senators duly chosen and sworn having voted in the affirmative, Senate agreed to the motion to close further debate on Daschle (for Hatch/Baucus) Amendment No. 2170, listed above.

Senate sustained a point of order that Lott/Murkowski/Brownback Amendment No. 2171 (to Amendment No. 2170), to enhance energy conservation, research and development, and to provide for security and diversity in the energy supply for the American people, was not germane, and the amendment thus fell.
