                          LEGISLATIVE PROGRAM

  (Mr. WALKER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. WALKER. Mr. Speaker, I rise 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 gentleman from Missouri [Mr. Gephardt], 
the distinguished majority leader, for the purposes of explaining next 
week's schedule.
  Mr. GEPHARDT. Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentleman for yielding to me.
  Mr. Speaker, obviously votes are finished for today. There will not 
be votes tomorrow.
  Mr. Speaker, on Monday the House will meet at noon, but there will 
not be votes.
  On Tuesday, April 26, and the balance of the week, the House will 
meet at 10:30 a.m. for the Morning Hour, and then will meet at noon for 
nine bills on suspension which are listed on the schedule. The votes 
could occur by 1:30 p.m. on that day, Tuesday, and I would assume there 
would be some votes, and that they would be over around 3 or 4 o'clock.
  On Wednesday, April 27, and Thursday, April 28, the House will meet 
at 2 on Wednesday and 11 on Thursday to take up the Rocky Plains Act, 
H.R. 3221, the State Department and Related Agencies Authorization 
Conference Report, H.R. 2333, and H.R. 3245, which is the National 
Science Foundation authorization, subject to a rule.
  Friday, April 29, the House will meet at 11 a.m. There will not be 
business on legislation and there will not be votes.
  Mr. WALKER. Mr. Speaker, I thank the distinguished majority leader.
  I would inquire, Mr. Speaker, since the second of the Oxford debates 
will take place on Wednesday, is there an intention to quit by a time 
certain that evening to take care of that particular project?
  Mr. GEPHARDT. If the gentleman will continue to yield, the gentleman 
is correct. I think our hope is to have that debate start on or around 
7 p.m.
  Mr. WALKER. I thank the gentleman.
  The National Science Foundation authorization was pulled off the 
Committee on Rules schedule today, Mr. Speaker. I would ask the 
distinguished gentleman, are we expecting the Committee on Rules to 
meet on that early next week so we can take it up later on in the week?
  Mr. GEPHARDT. If the gentleman will continue to yield, there may be a 
meeting early next week on that bill.
  Mr. WALKER. I thank the gentleman.
