   ANNOUNCEMENT ON AMENDMENTS TO THE COMPREHENSIVE ANTITERRORISM ACT

  (Mr. SOLOMON asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. SOLOMON. Mr. Speaker, the Rules Committee may be meeting as soon 
as this Saturday, December 16, to grant a rule which may limit the 
amendments to be offered to H.R. 1710, the Comprehensive Antiterrorism 
Act of 1995.
  Subject to the approval of the Rules Committee, this rule may include 
a provision limiting amendments to those specified in the rule. Any 
Member who desires to offer an amendment should submit 55 copies and a 
brief explanation of the amendment by 4 p.m. on Friday, December 15, to 
the Rules Committee, at room H-312 in the Capitol.
  Amendments should be drafted to the text of the Hyde-Barr substitute, 
which has been printed in the Congressional Record of December 5, and 
which has also been introduced as a separate bill (H.R. 2703). The rule 
is likely to self-execute in the Hyde-Barr amendment as a new base text 
for H.R. 1710.
  Members should use the Office of Legislative Counsel to ensure that 
their amendments are properly drafted and should check with the Office 
of the Parliamentarian to be certain their amendments comply with the 
rules of the House.
