                          LEGISLATIVE PROGRAM

  (Mr. SOLOMON asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. SOLOMON. Mr. Speaker, for the benefit of the Members, the next 
order of business is the rule and general debate only on H.R. 956. This 
is an agreed-to rule. We do not expect a vote on it. Thereafter, we 
would go right to general debate. The gentleman from Missouri [Mr. 
Volkmer] just shook my hand and agreed to this, so I think we can 
safely say there will be no further votes tonight.
  Mr. WISE. Mr. Speaker, if the gentleman will yield so I can speak out 
of turn for 1 minute, let me just say I do not pretend to speak from 
great knowledge, but I would advise members that I have been informed 
that that assurance may not be able to hold up as to no votes. I just 
do not want Members to leave here. That is not coming from me.
  Mr. SOLOMON. Mr. Speaker, I would just point out that the rule that 
is about to be debated provides for 2 hours of general debate. This is 
not a rule dealing with the amendment process. That rule will not come 
on the floor until tomorrow. I wanted to make that clarification.
  Mr. WISE. Mr. Speaker, as the gentleman is aware, any Member on 
either side can call for a vote on even this uncontested rule.
