 PERMISSION FOR CERTAIN COMMITTEES TO SIT TOMORROW, THURSDAY, MARCH 2, 
                       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.
  The Committee on Banking and Financial Services; the Committee on 
Economic and Educational Opportunities; the Committee on Government 
Reform and Oversight; the Committee on International Relations; the 
Committee on National Security; the Committee on Resources; the 
Committee on Science; the Committee on Small Business; and the 
Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure.
  It is my understanding that the minority has been consulted and that 
there is no objection to these requests.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mr. Goodlatte). Is there objection to the 
request of the gentleman from Texas?
  There was no objection.
 [[Page H2459]] PROCEEDING WITH GENERAL DEBATE PENDING A VOTE ON HOUSE 
                             RESOLUTION 101

  Mr. ARMEY. Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent that the House may 
proceed to general debate in the Committee of the Whole as though under 
House Resolution 101 during any postponement of proceedings on that 
resolution pursuant to clause 5 of rule I.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the 
gentleman from Texas?
  Mr. BONIOR. Mr. Speaker, reserving the right to object, I will not 
object, but I ask the gentleman from Texas if this means that this will 
be the last recorded vote for this evening?
  Mr. ARMEY. Mr. Speaker, will the gentleman yield?
  Mr. BONIOR. I yield to the gentleman from Texas.
  Mr. ARMEY. Mr. Speaker, the gentleman did get the attention of the 
body. Yes, without objection to this unanimous consent, we will have 
had our last vote for the evening. However, that would mean that those 
Members interested in the debate on the rule and on the general debate 
for the bill, H.R. 925, private property, should be advised that we 
would be holding those two debates yet this evening. Any Member not 
participating in either of those two debates would be free to go home 
for the evening. We would begin them tomorrow, as soon as the 1-minutes 
are over, with the vote on the rule, which is House Resolution 101.
  Let me say, again, it is an unusual request. It is an unusual 
procedure, not something that we would expect to be a habit in the 
future. But certainly it is something that by the minority's agreement, 
we were able to do so folks can get home tonight. We will then begin 
with a vote on the rule tomorrow, and I would remind Members who want 
to participate either on the debate on the rule or H.R. 925, the 
private property bill, that those debates will take place tonight.
  Mr. BONIOR. 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.
