  ANTICIPATED RULES REQUEST FOR H.R. 3171, DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE 
                       REORGANIZATION ACT OF 1994

  (Mr. de la GARZA asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. de la GARZA. Mr. Speaker, pursuant to rule 37 of the House 
Democratic caucus, I rise to inform Members of my intention as chairman 
of the Committee on Agriculture to seek a modified open rule that will 
provide for the consideration of H.R. 3171, the Department of 
Agriculture Reorganization Act of 1994.
  I anticipate seeking floor consideration of the bill next week. At 
this time it is my intention to request a rule that will require some 
type of preprinting requirement for amendments.
  I want my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to be fully aware of 
my anticipated rule request so that they will have adequate opportunity 
to prepare and make available to the Committee on Rules any amendments 
which they may wish to offer. If any Member has questions, please feel 
free to contact Mr. Andy Baker, one of our committee counsels, at 225-
1663.
  Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleagues for their cooperation.
