AUTHORIZING PRINTING OF BOOK ENTITLED ``THE CORNERSTONES 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. 41) to authorize the 
printing of the book entitled ``The Cornerstones of the United States 
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 41 introduced 
by Senators Mitchell and Dole, authorizes the printing of the book 
entitled, ``The Cornerstones of the U.S. Capitol'' as prepared by the 
Office of the Architect of the Capitol. This publication will focus on 
the architectural evolution of the Capitol through its four 
cornerstones as part of the commemoration of the bicentennial of the 
building.
  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:

     the Capitol.

     shall be in such style, form, manner, and binding as directed
