SENATORS LOOK TO THE CHAIR: ROD HELP US, EVERY ONE OF US

          Senators Chair Rod Bryden met with 10 Ottawa-area MPs
     yesterday "as part of his campaign to persuade" government
     officials that Canadian NHL teams face "unfair competition"
     from U.S. teams, according to Graham Fraser of the Toronto
     GLOBE & MAIL.  Bryden focused on int'l trade. Liberal House
     Leader Don Boudria: "He did not ask for tax relief for
     hockey players or anything like that.  He gave us a briefing
     on some of his concerns" (GLOBE & MAIL, 3/12).  Bryden: "The
     next federal budget doesn't come until next year and if I'm
     going to move by the fall of 2000, I'll have to have an
     agreement done long before that" (OTTAWA SUN, 3/12).
