              HOUR OF MEETING ON THURSDAY OCTOBER 26, 1995

  Mr. SOLOMON. Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent that when the House 
adjourns tomorrow, Wednesday, October 25, 1995, it adjourn to meet at 9 
a.m. on Thursday, October 26, 1995.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the 
gentleman from New York?
  Mr. DOGGETT. Mr. Speaker, reserving the right to object, let me just 
be sure I am clear about this.
  Under the series of unanimous-consent requests, there will be 3 hours 
of general debate tomorrow, and then in addition to that, as the rule 
provides, there will be 3 hours of general debate on Thursday, plus an 
hour on the substitute.
  Mr. SOLOMON. If the gentleman will yield, I would just say to the 
gentleman, we have not held the hearing nor have we issued the rule, 
but we intend to follow through with the gentleman's assumptions.
  Mr. DOGGETT. Is it also your understanding, we have in addition to 
what will amount to 6 hours of debate, then, on reconciliation; that by 
coming in early at 9 a.m. on Thursday, following more or less the 
timetable we had last week, that we would also at 9 a.m. Thursday have 
fifteen 1-minutes per side?
  Mr. SOLOMON. That is what we intend to do with one slight exception. 
We do intend by agreement with the minority to allow for 3 hours of 
debate to start tomorrow night. However, should the gentleman not use 
all of that time, should it only be 2 hours and 10 minutes, you would 
not be carrying that time over. We would then still live up to our end 
of the bargain on the rule the following day.
  Mr. DOGGETT. That is our understanding.
   Mr. Speaker, with that understanding, I withdraw my reservation of 
objection.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mr. Blute). Is there objection to the 
request of the gentleman from New York?
  There was no objection.
