                      ORDER OF BUSINESS ON MONDAY

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Under a previous order of the House, the 
gentleman from Texas [Mr. Armey] is recognized for 2 minutes.
  Mr. ARMEY. Mr. Speaker, I hope that we have most of our Members that 
have now discerned from these two requests, and we will engage both 
majority and minority whip information system to inform all of our 
Members, that with these requests and with the generous cooperation of 
the minority, we are now able to advise Members that unless you have 
business on the floor that you need not anticipate a vote will be taken 
before 5 o'clock next Monday. Certainly those people with business on 
the floor and those people interested in debating the business on the 
floor will need to be here at 2, but Members not required to be on the 
floor for purposes of the debate may now be assured that votes will not 
occur before 5 o'clock, and very likely 5:30 on Monday next.
  Mr. VOLKMER. Mr. Speaker, will the gentleman yield?
  Mr. ARMEY. I yield to the gentleman from Missouri.
  Mr. VOLKMER. It will take very little time, just to commend the 
gentleman and the gentleman from Missouri for working this out, and it 
is something I know will be beneficial to many Members, and I also 
think it is incumbent on staff now to notify those Members, a lot of 
whom are probably on their way home, and maybe it will make them feel 
better.
  Mr. ARMEY. And again, one final point, the staff should be sure to 
notify the gentleman from California [Mr. Dellums], who is on his way 
to California to celebrate the birth of a new grandbaby.
