  ANNOUNCEMENT OF INTENTION TO OFFER MOTION TO INSTRUCT ON H.R. 2126, 
             DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE APPROPRIATIONS ACT, 1996

  Mr. METCALF. Mr. Speaker, pursuant the provisions of rule 28, clause 
1(c), I am announcing that tomorrow I will offer a motion to instruct 
the House conferees on the bill, H.R. 2126, to insist on sections 8102 
and 8111 of the House-passed bill.
  As an explanation, by serving this notice I am ensuring the 
opportunity tomorrow to move to instruct the defense appropriation 
conferees to insist on the language that was in the House bill when it 
passed this body relative to Bosnia. This language would make certain 
that the President does not move ground troops into Bosnia without 
House approval, unless he comes before this body and explains 
thoroughly what the objective is, what vital United States interests 
are involved, et cetera.
