       APPOINTMENT OF CONFEREES ON H.R. 4454, LEGISLATIVE BRANCH 
                        APPROPRIATIONS ACT, 1995

  Mr. FAZIO. Madam Speaker, I ask unanimous consent to take from the 
Speaker's table the bill (H.R. 4454) making appropriations for the 
legislative branch for the fiscal year ending September 30, 1995, and 
for other purposes with Senate amendments thereto, disagree to the 
Senate amendments, and agree to the conference asked by the Senate.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the 
gentleman from California?
  There was no objection.


      motion to instruct conferees offered by mr. young of florida

  Mr. Young of Florida. Madam Speaker, I offer a motion.
  The Clerk read as follows:

       Mr. Young of Florida moves that the managers on the part of 
     the House at the conference on the disagreeing votes of the 
     two Houses on the bill H.R. 4454 be instructed to insist on 
     the House position on the amendment of the Senate numbered 
     24.

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Florida [Mr. Young] is 
recognized for 30 minutes.
  Mr. YOUNG of Florida. Madam Speaker, I yield myself such time as I 
may consume.
  Madam Speaker, this is a bipartisan motion I offer today agreed to by 
the chairman of the subcommittee.
  Last year, the House approved the GPO Electronic Information Access 
Enhancement Act, which creates a system to increase computer access to 
public information of the Federal Government.
  The House report on this bill stated that the legislation did not 
authorize any increase in appropriations for these activities, and that 
the program was to be implemented within the current GPO budget.
  During consideration of this appropriations bill in May, the House 
approved bill language requiring the GPO to implement the Access Act 
with savings from other GPO programs.
  The amendment approved by the House stated, the Access Act ``shall be 
carried out through cost savings.''
  This motion instructs the House conferees to support the House 
language thereby ensuring that the GPO comply with the intent of 
Congress to implement this new program with cost savings, and not more 
American tax dollars.
  Mr. FAZIO. Madam Speaker, will the gentleman yield?
  Mr. YOUNG of Florida. I am happy to yield to the gentleman from 
California.
  Mr. FAZIO. Madam Speaker, I thank the gentleman for yielding.
  Madam Speaker, we support the motion and urge its adoption.
  Mr. YOUNG of Florida. Madam Speaker, I yield back the balance of my 
time.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Without objection, the previous question is 
ordered on the motion to instruct.
  There was no objection.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the motion to instruct 
offered by the gentleman from Florida [Mr. Young].
  The motion to instruct was agreed to.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Without objection, the Chair appoints the 
following conferees: Messrs. Fazio, Moran, Obey, Murtha, Carr of 
Michigan, Chapman, Sabo, Young of Florida, Packard, Taylor of North 
Carolina, and McDade.
  There was no objection.
