WASHINGTON — Montana Sen. Max Baucus may consider posting his daily schedule on the Internet like his fellow Democratic Sen. Jon Tester already does, but GOP Rep. Denny Rehberg does not plan to do so.

At the end of each day, Tester posts an outline of his daily events on his official Senate Web site. The schedules list everything from a Lady Griz basketball game he attended to media interviews, working breakfasts and lunches, the names and organizations of people he meets and evening receptions.

Baucus currently does not post his schedule, but spokesman Barrett Kaiser said he has not ruled out the possibility.

“He’ll take a look at that and at ways he can further involve Montanans in the process,” Kaiser said. “He’s always had an open-door policy and he’ll sit down with any Montanan who wants to visit with him.”

The new chairman of the powerful Senate Finance Committee, Baucus is up for re-election in 2008.

Rehberg says Montanans who are interested in what he’s been up to can ask for his schedule.

“Denny’s schedule has always been available,” said spokesman Bridger Pierce. “The public can always stop by any of our five offices, call our 1-800 number, and we can e-mail them or fax them a copy of our schedule.”

Rehberg has offices in Washington, Billings, Missoula, Helena and Great Falls. His toll-free number is listed on the front page of his House Web site.

That site also features a link saying “See what Denny is doing in Washington, D.C., today.” It links to the House Clerk’s Web site that lists what measures are currently being considered on the House floor.

Tester made a campaign promise to disclose all the people he would meet with as a senator. He criticized former GOP Sen. Conrad Burns for meeting with representatives of special interests and failing to make his activities more “transparent.”

Tester has won praise from government watchdog groups for making his schedule so public.

As of Wednesday, the last five days’ schedules were posted on his site. His day on Wednesday began with an 8 a.m. meeting with Turner Graybill and Jessica Crist of Great Falls and ended with a 7:30 p.m. dinner with Senate colleagues.

In between, he attended two committee hearings, met with leaders on stem cell research, presided over the Senate, met with officials from the Western Organization of Resource Councils and from various Montana groups and attended a construction industry reception.
