                          LEGISLATIVE PROGRAM

  (Mr. BONIOR asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. BONIOR. Mr. Speaker, I would ask my friend, the gentleman from 
Texas [Mr. Armey], to explain the schedule this afternoon and for 
tomorrow. If we are going on Amtrak tomorrow, I would ask the 
gentleman, why can we not do it today? It is 1 o'clock in the afternoon 
and we have a good part of the day left.
  Mr. DeLAY. Mr. Speaker, will the gentleman yield?
  Mr. BONIOR. I yield to the gentleman from Texas.
  Mr. DeLAY. Mr. Speaker, this last vote is the last vote of the day. 
The Committee on Rules will be meeting at 2:30 or later this afternoon 
to write a rule on the Amtrak legislation that we intend to bring up 
tomorrow. We do not anticipate any vote on Friday or Monday.
  Mr. BONIOR. Mr. Speaker, if I can reclaim my time, I ask unanimous 
consent that we bring the Amtrak bill up today. There would not be any 
objection on this side of the aisle. We would be happy to take it up 
today. We do not need a rule, unless the gentleman plans to close the 
rule. We do not need a rule.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mr. Emerson). The Chair is unable to 
recognize the gentleman for that unanimous-consent request.
  Mr. DINGELL. Mr. Speaker, will the gentleman yield?
  Mr. BONIOR. I yield to the gentleman from Michigan.
  Mr. DINGELL. Mr. Speaker, I would ask the gentleman to yield for the 
purposes of inquiring of my good friend, the gentleman from Texas, the 
distinguished whip on the majority side, are we going to bring up the 
securities reform legislation?
  Mr. DeLAY. Mr. Speaker, if the gentleman from Michigan will continue 
to yield, we intend to bring up that piece of legislation sometime next 
week.
  Mr. DINGELL. Next week, not tomorrow or Thursday, Friday?
  Mr. DeLAY. Sometime next week.
  Mr. DINGELL. Would it come up Monday or Tuesday of next week?
  Mr. DeLAY. We have not set the schedule for next week, but it would 
be sometime next week.
  Mr. DINGELL. I thank the gentleman.
