        HOUR OF MEETING ON TOMORROW, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 16, 1995

  Mr. GILMAN. Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent that when the House 
adjourn today, it adjourn to meet at 9 a.m. on Thursday, February 16.
  The Speaker pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the 
gentleman from New York?
  Mr. MFUME. Reserving the right to object, Mr. Speaker, in an effort 
to try to make sure that we operate with some sense of comity, I direct 
this inquiry to the gentleman from New York [Mr. Gilman].
  There was one Member on our side of the aisle, the gentlewoman from 
California, who had wanted to offer an amendment in the title that has 
just been concluded and was not allowed to do that while she was on the 
floor seeking recognition. In an effort to try to move us off the 
impasse that we are on, would the gentleman from New York be open to 
this: as I understand it, the rule calls for the allowing of this 
amendment since amendments can be offered at any time, as I understand 
it, regardless of section?
  Mr. GILMAN. If the gentleman would yield, Mr. Speaker, I believe that 
the gentlewoman was offering an amendment to title III. We have not 
arrived at that title yet.
  Mr. MFUME. I am going to ask the gentlewoman now if it was title III 
or not. I thought it was the current title. It is my understanding, I 
say to the gentleman from New York [Mr. Gilman], that it was title II 
that she was offering the amendment for.
  Mr. GILMAN. The gentlewoman can offer her amendment at any time that 
she desires providing there is time remaining.
  Mr. MFUME. Could the gentleman also by unanimous consent perhaps, as 
he seeks his request that was previously not agreed to, indicate her 
amendment as part of those amendments that will be considered?
  Mr. GILMAN. We are going to have to revisit the schedule since there 
was an objection to the schedule.
  Mr. MFUME. I do not know if the gentleman who raised the objection is 
still objecting or not.
  Mr. ENGEL. Mr. Speaker, if the gentleman will yield, I am still 
objecting. I would like to know that I can get some definite time for 
my amendment.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the 
gentleman from New York?
  There was no objection.
