          REQUEST FOR PERMISSION TO AMEND HOUSE RESOLUTION 317

  Mr. OBEY. Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent that the rule just 
passed be amended to read as follows:

       It shall be also in order to consider an amendment by the 
     minority leader or his designee adding at the end of House 
     Joint Resolution 134 a new title II consisting of the text of 
     House Joint Resolution 131, continuing funds for many 
     critical Federal departments through January 26, 1996, and 
     authorizing a 2.4 percent pay raise for the Armed Forces of 
     the United States. All points of order shall be waived 
     against such an amendment.

  The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mr. LaHood). Under the guidelines 
consistently issued by successive Speakers as recorded on page 534 of 
the House Rules Manual, specifically the guideline of November 14, 
1991, the Chair is constrained not to entertain the gentleman's request 
until it has been cleared by the bipartisan floor and committee 
leadership.
  Mr. OBEY. Mr. Speaker, I would urge the Speaker to clear that 
request.
