    ANNOUNCEMENT BY CHAIRMAN OF THE COMMITTEE ON RULES RELATIVE TO 
    PROCEDURES FOR CONSIDERATION OF H.R. 2866, HEADWATERS FOREST ACT

  (Mr. MOAKLEY asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. MOAKLEY. Mr. Speaker, the Rules Committee is planning to meet the 
week of September 19, to consider the bill, H.R. 2866, the Headwaters 
Forest Act. In order to assure timely consideration of the bill on the 
floor, the Rules Committee may report a rule that limits the offering 
of amendments.
  The committee made an earlier request for the submission of 
amendments so that the House could consider the bill before the August 
break. However, the recess did not allow the committee to meet on the 
bill as planned. In order to assure the ability to request protection 
in the rule, the committee has established a new date for Members to 
submit amendments to the committee.
  Any Member who is contemplating an amendment to H.R. 2866 should 
submit, to the Rule Committee in H-312 in the Capitol, 55 copies of the 
amendment and a brief explanation of the amendment no later than 12 
noon on Wednesday, September 14, 1994.
  Amendments should be drafted to the bill as introduced.
  We appreciate the cooperation of all Members in this effort to be 
fair and orderly in granting this rule.
