 PERMISSION FOR COMMITTEES TO SIT ON TOMORROW, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 1, 
                       1995, DURING 5-MINUTE RULE

  Mr. ARMEY. Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent that the following 
committees and their subcommittees be permitted to sit tomorrow while 
the House is meeting in the Committee of the Whole House under the 5-
minute rule: Agriculture; Economic and Educational Opportunities; 
Transportation and Infrastructure; Judiciary; Science; Resources; 
Commerce; and International Relations.
  It is my understanding that the minority has been consulted and that 
there is no object to these requests.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mr. Bereuter). Is there objection to the 
request of the gentleman from Texas?
  Mr. WISE. Mr. Speaker, reserving the right to object and I will not 
object, the minority is not going to object but simply say to the 
Members of the majority, the distinguished majority leader, that this 
is certainly the appropriate way to go about this. I think we have had 
a very fruitful day today, we moved quickly through the bill. In each 
of the cases, the eight committees that the distinguished majority 
leader mentioned, there was full consultation with the minority. 
Everyone signed off on it. We think this is the way to operate. We look 
forward to operating in this way in the future.
  Mr. Speaker, I withdraw my reservation of objection.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the 
gentleman from Texas?
  There was no objection.
