AUTHORIZING REPRINTING OF BOOK ENTITLED ``THE UNITED STATES CAPITOL: A 
                     BRIEF ARCHITECTURAL HISTORY''

  Mr. MANTON. Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent that the Committee 
on House Administration be discharged from further consideration of the 
Senate concurrent resolution (S. Con. Res. 38) to authorize the 
reprinting of the book entitled ``The United States Capitol: A Brief 
Architectural History,'' and ask for its immediate consideration in the 
House.
  The Clerk read the title of the Senate concurrent resolution.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the 
gentleman from New York?
  Ms. DUNN. Mr. Speaker, reserving the right to object, I yield to the 
gentleman from New York [Mr. Manton] to explain the resolution.
  Mr. MANTON. Mr. Speaker, Senate Concurrent Resolution 38 was 
introduced by Senator George Mitchell and cosponsored by Senator Robert 
Dole and would authorize the printing of ``U.S. Capitol: A Brief 
Architectural History,'' as prepared by the office of the Architect of 
the Capitol. The resolution authorizes the reprinting of House Document 
101-144 which is presently out of stock. It is designed to give a brief 
examination of the Capitol's history. My colleagues should note that 
the resolution contains language to make certain actual printing cost 
stay within GPO cost estimates.
  Ms. DUNN. Mr. Speaker, further reserving the right to object, I 
compliment my colleague the gentleman from New York, for working with 
us to include caps to keep these printing costs from spiraling out of 
control. I want my colleagues to know these caps have been included in 
each of the other resolutions we will be considering.
  Mr. Speaker, I withdraw my reservation of objection.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mr. Becerra). Is there objection to the 
request of the gentleman from New York?
  There was no objection.
  The Clerk read the Senate concurrent resolution, as follows:

                            S. Con. Res. 38

       Resolved by the Senate (the House of Representatives 
     concurring), That there shall be printed as a Senate 
     document, the book entitled ``The United States Capitol: A 
     Brief Architectural History'', prepared by the Office of the 
     Architect of the Capitol.
       Sec. 2. Such document shall include illustrations, and 
     shall be in such style, form, manner, and binding as directed 
     by the Joint Committee on Printing after consultation with 
     the Secretary of the Senate.
       Sec. 3. In addition to the usual number of copies, there 
     shall be printed--
       (1) 56,500 copies for the use of the Commission on the 
     Bicentennial of the United States Capitol; or
       (2) such number of copies as does not exceed a total 
     production and printing cost of $69,206.


                    amendment offered by Mr. MANTON

       (2) such number of copies of the document as does not 
     exceed a total production and printing cost of $69,206.

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the amendment offered by 
the gentleman from New York [Mr. Manton].
  The amendment was agreed to.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the Senate concurrent 
resolution, as amended.
  The Senate concurrent resolution, as amended, was concurred in.


                 title amendment offered by mr. manton

  Mr. MANTON. Mr. Speaker, I offer an amendment to the title.
  The Clerk read as follows:

       Amend the title so as to read: ``Concurrent resolution 
     authorizing the printing of the book entitled ``The United 
     States Capitol: A Brief Architectural History.''.

  The title amendment was agreed to.
  A motion to reconsider was laid on the table.
