NOTIFICATION OF FILING DISCHARGE PETITION ON THE RULE FOR THE BALANCED 
                            BUDGET AMENDMENT

  (Mr. STENHOLM asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. STENHOLM. Mr. Speaker, I take this opportunity to notify the 
House that we have filed the discharge petition on the rule for the 
balanced budget constitutional amendment in the House. As was the case 
in 1992, this rule we have filed will allow for fair and complete 
consideration of a balanced budget amendment in its various forms.
  The rule that would be discharged provides for 9 hours of general 
debate and consideration of the following: The Kyl substitute, the 
Barton substitute, the substitute offered by the gentleman from Texas 
[Mr. Brooks], the chairman of the Committee on the Judiciary, the 
Senate-passed substitute, and finally, the so-called Stenholm-Smith 
amendment. These would be considered under a king-of-the-hill format.
  Mr. Speaker, we would appreciate all Members signing the discharge 
petition before the close of business today on Discharge 14.
