     REQUEST TO DISCHARGE COMMITTEE ON APPROPRIATIONS FROM FURTHER 
    CONSIDERATION OF HOUSE JOINT RESOLUTION 119, FURTHER CONTINUING 
                  APPROPRIATIONS FOR FISCAL YEAR 1996

  Mr. OBEY. Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent that the Committee on 
Appropriations be discharged from further consideration of House Joint 
Resolution 119, a clean continuing resolution through midnight 
tomorrow, and ask for its immediate consideration in the House.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mr. Combest). Under the guidelines 
consistently issued by successive Speakers, and procedures recorded on 
page 534 of the House Rules Manual, the Chair is constrained not to 
entertain the gentleman's request until it has been cleared by the 
bipartisan floor and committee leaderships.
  Mr. OBEY. Mr. Speaker, I would urge the Speaker to clear such a 
motion. It obviously needs to be done.
