          EXTENSION OF MOST-FAVORED-NATION STATUS TO BULGARIA

  Mr. OBEY. Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent to take from the 
Speaker's table the bill (H.R. 1643) to authorize the extension of 
nondiscriminatory treatment--most-favored-nation treatment--to the 
products of Bulgaria, with the Senate amendment thereto, and concur in 
the Senate amendment, the Dole proposal to open the Government, and 
that a motion to reconsider be considered as laid on the table.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Under the guidelines consistently issued by 
successive Speakers and 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.
