 ANNOUNCEMENT OF INTENT TO OFFER MOTIONS TO INSTRUCT CONFEREES ON H.R. 
 4539, TREASURY, POSTAL SERVICE AND GENERAL GOVERNMENT APPROPRIATIONS 
                               ACT, 1995

  (Mr. ISTOOK asked and was given permission to revise and extend his 
remarks and include extraneous matter.)
  Mr. ISTOOK. Mr. Speaker, pursuant to clause 1, rule XXVIII, I am 
announcing to the House that tomorrow I intend to offer a motion to 
instruct conferees on the bill H.R. 4539, the Treasury, Postal Service 
and General Government Appropriations bill.
  My motion would instruct House conferees to support the decision this 
House made on June 15 when it adopted my amendments to eliminate two 
unnecessary and redundant Government commissions: the Administrative 
Conference of the United States and the Advisory Commission on 
Intergovernmental Relations. The motion states:

       Mr. Istook moves that the managers on the part of the House 
     at the conference on the disagreeing votes of the two Houses 
     on the Senate amendments to the bill H.R. 4539 be instructed 
     to insist on disagreement to the Senate amendments numbered 
     46 and 47 (relating to the Administrative Conference of the 
     United States and the Advisory Commission on 
     Intergovernmental Relations).

  Second, Mr. Speaker, pursuant to clause 1, rule XXVIII, I am 
announcing to the House that tomorrow I intend to offer a motion to 
instruct conferees on the bill H.R. 4539, the Treasury, Postal Service 
and General Government Appropriations bill.
  My motion will instruct conferees to insist on the House funding 
level for the GSA's new construction Federal Building Fund. The text of 
the motion states:

       Mr. Istook moves that the managers on the part of the House 
     at the conference on the disagreeing votes of the two Houses 
     on the Senate amendments to the bill H.R. 4539 be instructed 
     to insist upon the provisions contained in the House bill 
     relating to the aggregate amount of funds provided for 
     construction under ``General Services Administration--Federal 
     Buildings Fund,'' as provided on line 11, page 49, (including 
     funds for sites and expenses and associated design and 
     construction services).

  Mr. Speaker, I will provide these in writing.
