    AUTHORIZING PRINTING OF ``HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES CAPITOL''

  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. 39) to authorize the 
printing of a new annotated edition of Glenn Brown's ``History of the 
United States Capitol,'' originally published in two volumes in 1900 
and 1903, prepared under the auspices of the Architect of the Capitol, 
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 39, introduced 
by Senators George Mitchell and Bob Dole, authorizes the printing of a 
new annotated edition of Glenn Brown's ``History of the United States 
Capitol.''
  This book was originally published in two volumes in 1900 and 1903, 
prepared under the auspices of the Architect of the Capitol. The new 
annotated history will provide historical context and contemporary 
perspective on Glenn Brown and his philosophy.
  My colleagues should note that the resolution contains language to 
ensure that actual printing costs stay within GPO cost estimates.
  Ms. DUNN. Mr. Speaker, I withdraw my reservation of objection.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. 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:

       Resolved by the Senate (the House of Representatives

     the Architect of the Capitol, with support from the United 
     States Capitol Preservation Commission and the United States 
     Capitol Historical Society.
       Sec. 2. Such document shall include illustrations, and 
     shall be in such style, form, manner, and binding as directed
