         ANNOUNCEMENT BY THE CHAIRMAN OF THE COMMITTEE ON RULES

  (Mr. SOLOMON asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. SOLOMON. Mr. Speaker, the Rules Committee will be meeting on 
Friday, March 3, to grant rules for the consideration of H.R. 988, The 
Attorney Accountability Act, and H.R. 1058, The Securities Litigation 
Reform Act. H.R. 1058 was initially reported by the Commerce Committee 
as title II of H.R. 10 (Report 104-50, Part 1).
  Each rule may include a provision giving priority in recognition to 
Members who have caused their amendments to be printed in the amendment 
section of the Congressional Record 
[[Page H2444]] prior to their consideration--though this would not be 
mandatory.
  The amendments must still be consistent with House rules and are 
given no special protection by being printed.
  If Members are interested in priority recognition they may wish to 
print their amendment to H.R. 988 in the Record prior to Monday, March 
6 and their amendment to H.R. 1058 prior to Tuesday, March 7, when 
these bills are tentatively scheduled for consideration. It is not 
necessary to submit amendments to the Rules Committee or to testify.
  Members should use the Office of Legislative Counsel to ensure that 
their amendments are properly drafted to the bill as reported from the 
committees of jurisdiction. Amendments should be titled, ``Submitted 
for printing under clause 6 of rule XXIII'' and submitted at the 
Speaker's table.
