REPORT ON H.R. 1854, LEGISLATIVE BRANCH APPROPRIATIONS FOR FISCAL YEAR 
                                  1996

  Mr. PACKARD, from the Committee on Appropriations, submitted a 
privileged report (Rept. No. 104-141) on the bill (H.R. 1854) making 
appropriations for the legislative branch for the fiscal year ending 
September 30, 1996, and for other purposes, which was referred to the 
Union Calendar and ordered to be printed.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. All points of order are reserved on the 
bill.
  Mr. VOLKMER. Mr. Speaker, I would like to inquire of the gentleman 
from California, the chairman of the Subcommittee on Appropriations who 
just filed a report----
  Mr. PACKARD. Mr. Speaker, would the gentleman repeat that please?
  Mr. VOLKMER. I just would like to make an inquiry of the gentleman:
  It is my understanding that the Committee on Rules on the gentleman's 
bill is going to require us to file amendments on the bill by noon on 
Monday.
  Mr. PACKARD. That is correct.
  Mr. VOLKMER. It is not printed; is it? It is not available to me; is 
it?
  Mr. PACKARD. I would have to refer that to the chairman of the 
Committee on Rules.
  Mr. VOLKMER. I mean the gentleman knows whether the bill is available 
to me or not.
  Mr. PACKARD. The bill is printed. I do not know whether it is 
official or not, but it is available.
  Mr. VOLKMER. With the amendments in it?
  Mr. PACKARD. Not with the amendments until noon Monday.
  It is available as it was reported out of the full committee. It will 
be in H-218 in the Capitol.
  Mr. VOLKMER. In other words, I have to go there and look at it? I 
cannot take it back to my office, or my staff cannot, to review it as 
we always do on legislation?
  Mr. PACKARD. We will give the gentleman a copy.
  Mr. VOLKMER. Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentleman from California.
