  DEEMING HOUSE TO HAVE DISAGREED TO SENATE AMENDMENTS AND AGREED TO 
  CONFERENCE AND DEEMING SPEAKER TO HAVE APPOINTED CONFEREES ON H.R. 
     3759, EMERGENCY SUPPLEMENTAL APPROPRIATIONS, FISCAL YEAR 1994.

  Mr. GEPHARDT. Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent that if and when 
the Clerk receives a message from the Senate indicating that that body 
has passed H.R. 3759, the emergency supplemental appropriations bill, 
with amendments, insisted on its amendments and requested a conference 
with the House, that the House be deemed to have disagreed to the 
amendments of the Senate and agreed to the conference asked by the 
Senate, and that the Speaker be deemed to have appointed conferees.
  Mr. SOLOMON. Mr. Speaker, reserving the right to object, I do not 
intend to object, but I need a clarification on the so-called Fazio 
offsetting amendment. I wanted to ask a member of the Committee on 
Appropriations what the intent of that amendment was. Is there anyone 
who could speak to that?
  The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mr. Chapman). Is there objection to the 
request of the gentleman from Missouri?
  Mr. GEPHARDT. Mr. Speaker, will the gentleman yield?
  Mr. SOLOMON. Continuing my reservation of objection, I yield to the 
gentleman from Missouri [Mr. Gephardt].
  Mr. GEPHARDT. Mr. Speaker, we are not in a position to answer that 
question. Perhaps the gentleman could direct it to the gentleman from 
California [Mr. Fazio], but I am not prepared to answer that question.
  Mr. SOLOMON. Mr. Speaker, the gentleman from California [Mr. Fazio] 
is not on the floor.
  Mr. GEPHARDT. Mr. Speaker, if the gentleman will continue to yield, I 
am sure he will be here for the vote. I will try to find him and make 
him available to answer that question. I cannot answer it.
  Mr. SOLOMON. Mr. Speaker, continuing my reservation of objection, I 
appreciate the gentleman yielding. I will not hold up the proceedings 
of the House.
  Mr. Speaker, I withdraw my reservation of objection.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the 
gentleman from Missouri?
  There was no objection.
