  PERMISSION FOR COMMITTEE ON RULES TO FILE A PRIVILEGED REPORT ON A 
     RESOLUTION ACCOMPANYING THE BILL, H.R. 4301, NATIONAL DEFENSE 
                 AUTHORIZATION ACT FOR FISCAL YEAR 1995

  Mr. MOAKLEY. Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent that the Committee 
on Rules have until midnight tonight to file a privileged report on a 
resolution accompanying the bill, H.R. 4301, National Defense 
Authorization Act for fiscal year 1995.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the 
gentleman from Massachusetts?
  Mr. SOLOMON. Mr. Speaker, reserving the right to object, and I shall 
not object, I wanted to say to my good friend, the gentleman from 
Massachusetts, chairman of the Committee on Rules, that the rule he is 
filing is an agreed-to rule by the Republican side of the aisle as 
well. It is not entirely to our liking. We support it reluctantly. 
There have been many, many hours of negotiation between the Republican 
and Democratic leaderships. It is a rule that should be supported 
because of the seriousness of the bill before us. We have to get this 
bill enacted before we get into the appropriations process. Therefore, 
we will be supporting the rule on this side of the aisle.
  I thank the gentleman for his consideration.
  Mr. Speaker, I withdraw my reservation of objection.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the 
gentleman from Massachusetts?
  There was no objection.
