    APPOINTMENT OF CONFEREES ON S. 1284, DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES 
          ASSISTANCE AND BILL OF RIGHTS ACT AMENDMENTS OF 1993

  Mr WAXMAN. Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent to take from the 
Speaker's table the Senate bill (S. 1284), to amend the Development 
Disabilities Assistance and Bill of Rights Act to expand or modify 
certain provisions relating to programs for individuals with 
developmental disabilities, Federal assistance for priority area 
activities for individuals with developmental disabilities, protection 
and advocacy of individual rights, university affiliated programs, and 
projects of national significance, and for other purposes, with House 
amendments thereto, insist on the House amendments, and agree to the 
conference asked by the Senate.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mr. Montgomery). Is there objection to the 
request of the gentleman from California?
  Mr. MOORHEAD. Mr. Speaker, reserving the right to object, I shall not 
object, but I take this reservation for the purpose of asking the 
gentleman from California [Mr. Waxman] to explain his reasons for this 
request.
  Mr. WAXMAN. Mr. Speaker, will the gentleman yield?
  Mr. MOORHEAD. I am happy to yield to the gentleman from California.
  Mr. WAXMAN. Mr. Speaker, we have made this request so that the House 
and Senate can go into conference on the Developmental Disabilities 
Assistance Act and Bill of Rights Amendments. There are differences in 
the two versions, and this request is to take the bill up and go to 
conference, with conferees appointed from both sides of the aisle.
  Mr. MOORHEAD. Mr. Speaker, I withdraw my reservation of objection.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the 
gentleman from California? The Chair hears none, and without objection, 
appoints the following conferees: Messrs. Dingell, Waxman, Brown of 
Ohio, Moorhead, and Bliley.
  There was no objection.
