                          LEGISLATIVE PROGRAM

  (Mr. WALKER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. WALKER. Mr. Speaker, I have asked for this time for the purpose 
of ascertaining the schedule for next week, and I yield to the 
gentleman from Missouri [Mr. Gephardt], the distinguished majority 
leader, for that purpose.
  Mr. GEPHARDT. Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentleman for yielding.
  There will be no more votes today. On tomorrow, Friday, there will be 
no votes.
  On Monday, April 18, the House will meet at 10:30 a.m. for morning 
hour, and then we will meet at noon on the following bills on 
suspension:

       H.R. 4013, Veterans' Health Programs Improvements Act of 
     1994;
       H.R. 1617, Use of VA Property At Hines, Illinois, For 
     Temporary Accommodations For Family Members of Severely Ill 
     Children;
       H.R. 821, Reserve Armed Forces Eligibility For Burial In 
     National Cemeteries;
       H. Con. Res. 222, Raul Wallenberg Bust Placement In The 
     Capitol;
       S. 1654, To Make Certain Technical Corrections;
       H.R. 3813, Environmental Export Promotion Act Of 1994;
       H. Con. Res. 124, Concerning The Emancipation Of The 
     Iranian Baha'i Community; and
       H.R. 2333, Motion To Go To Conference On State Department 
     And Related Agencies Authorization.

  I would expect there would be two votes, one on the motion to go to 
conference, and perhaps one on one of the suspension bills. But our 
plan would be not to have more votes than that, and to roll other 
suspension votes if there are suspension votes until Tuesday.
  The reason we need to go forward with the motion to go to conference 
vote is that the conference needs to meet on Tuesday morning. And votes 
will be postponed until 5 p.m. on Monday.
  On Tuesday, April 19, the House will meet at 10:30 a.m. for the 
morning hour. We will meet at noon on Tuesday to continue H.R. 4092, 
the Omnibus Crime Control Act, hopefully completing consideration next 
week.
  There will be another vote on suspension on Tuesday, House Resolution 
329, designating 1994 as a year to honor the Honorable Thomas ``Tip'' 
O'Neill, Jr.
  On Wednesday, April 20, and Thursday, April 21, we will meet at 2 
p.m. on Wednesday and 11 a.m. on Thursday to complete the Omnibus Crime 
Control Act. We hope to finish that by Thursday at the end of business, 
and it could be late.
  Then on Friday, April 22, we hope, therefore, to not have legislative 
business.
  Mr. WALKER. I thank the gentleman. Do we expect to have the budget 
conference report come back next week?
  Mr. GEPHARDT. I have to consult with the chairman, and obviously we 
are hopeful we can get it back.
  Mr. WALKER. Just to reiterate, the gentleman does not expect more 
than two votes on Monday, or we would not have more than two votes on 
Monday, if I understand correctly, and they would not be before 5 p.m., 
is that correct?
  Mr. GEPHARDT. The gentleman is correct.
  Mr. WALKER. I thank the gentleman.
