                          LEGISLATIVE CALENDAR

  (Mr. WALKER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. WALKER. Mr. Speaker, I have asked unanimous consent to proceed 
for 1 minute for the purpose of ascertaining the schedule for the 
upcoming week.
  Mr. GEPHARDT. Mr. Speaker, will the gentleman yield?
  Mr. WALKER. I yield to the majority leader to advise us as to the 
upcoming schedule.
  Mr. GEPHARDT. I thank the gentleman for yielding.
  Obviously, votes are finished for today. There will not be votes on 
tomorrow and Monday, February 28. The House will meet at noon on 
Monday, February 28, but there will not be a morning hour, and there 
will not be legislative business.
  Tuesday, March 1, Wednesday, March 2, and Thursday, March 3, the 
House will meet at 10:30 a.m. on Tuesday, for morning hour. The House 
will meet at noon on Tuesday for legislative business.
  The House will meet at 2 p.m. on Wednesday, and the House will meet 
at 11 a.m. on Thursday to take up H.R. 6, the Elementary and Secondary 
Education Amendments of 1993, complete consideration and the 
possibility of House Resolution 238, calling on the Committee on 
Standards of Official Conduct to conduct an investigation into activity 
at the House post office.
  Friday, March 4, the House will meet at 11 a.m., but there will be no 
legislative business.

                              {time}  1600

  Mr. WALKER. Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentleman from Missouri [Mr. 
Gephardt], and I would like to clarify with him, with regard to the 
morning hour announcement, that it is my understanding that what we are 
going to do is listed on the schedule for Monday. If morning hours are 
not anticipated, that would involve an agreement between both 
leaderships that no one has asked for morning hour time and, therefore, 
the schedule announcement would be the notification of Members not to 
expect the morning hour on Monday.
  Mr. GEPHARDT. The gentleman is correct. We will determine it on a 
case-by-case basis in consultation with the minority.
  Mr. WALKER. But this will be a standard practice, as this schedule is 
done each week, to determine by the time the schedule is done whether 
or not there will be a Monday morning hour; is that correct?
  Mr. GEPHARDT. The gentleman is correct.
  Mr. WALKER. Then we do anticipate morning hours for Tuesday because 
Members will be coming back into town.
  Mr. GEPHARDT. The gentleman is correct.
  Mr. WALKER. Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentleman from Missouri.
  And does the gentleman know of any conference reports that might be 
anticipated for next week?
  Mr. GEPHARDT. We are not aware of any at this point. We will 
obviously notify the minority if we see one coming.
  Mr. WALKER. Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentleman from Missouri [Mr. 
Gephardt].
