  PERMISSION FOR SUNDRY COMMITTEES TO SIT ON TOMORROW DURING 5-MINUTE 
                                  RULE

  Mr. GOSS. 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: the Committee on Economic and Educational Opportunities, 
the Committee on the Judiciary, and the Committee on Science.
  Mr. Speaker, it is my understanding that the minority has been 
consulted and that there is no objection to these requests.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the 
gentleman from Florida?
  Mr. DOGGETT. Mr. Speaker, reserving the right to object, under that 
reservation let me say that we have consulted with the ranking members 
of each of the affected committees, and that following that 
consultation I think there is no objection. This pattern of 
consultation with the minority which has occurred here is an 
appropriate way of handling this. It will avoid the kind of problems we 
had the other night.
  Mr. Speaker, with the understanding that there has been such 
consultation, I withdraw my reservation of objection.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the 
gentleman from Florida?
  There was no objection.
