                          LEGISLATIVE PROGRAM

  (Mr. BONIOR asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. BONIOR. Mr. Speaker, I rise to inquire of the distinguished chief 
deputy majority whip the schedule for today and the remainder of the 
week and for the next week.
  Mr. HASTERT. Mr. Speaker, if the gentleman will yield, I thank my 
good friend from Michigan, the minority whip.
  Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to announce that we have concluded our 
legislative business for the week.
  On Monday, April 29, the House will meet in pro forma session. There 
will be no legislative business, and no votes, on that day.
  On Tuesday, April 30, the House will meet at 12:30 p.m. for morning 
hour and 2 p.m. for legislative business. Members should note that we 
do not anticipate votes until 5 p.m.
  On Tuesday, April 30, we will consider three bills under suspension 
of the rules: H.R. 1823, to amend the Central Utah Project Completion 
Act; H.R. 1527, to amend the National Forest Ski Area Permit Act of 
1986; and H.R. 873, the Helium Privatization Act of 1995.
  After the suspensions, we will consider the President's veto of H.R. 
1561, the American Overseas Interests Act of 1995.
  On Wednesday, May 1, and Thursday, May 2, the House will consider the 
following bills, both of which will be subject to rules: H.R. 2149, the 
Ocean Shipping Reform Act of 1995; and H.R. 2641, the U.S. Marshals 
Service Improvement Act of 1995.
  It is our hope that the conference report to S. 641, Ryan White CARE 
Reauthorization Act of 1995, will also be available next week.
  Mr. Speaker, we should finish legislative business and have Members 
on their way home to their families by 6 p.m. on Thursday, May 2.
  Mr. BONIOR. Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for his comments. I 
have just one or two questions. Can the gentleman tell us if the House 
is expected to appoint conferees on the health care bill next week?
  Mr. HASTERT. It is our intent that the health care conferees will be 
appointed next week.
  Mr. BONIOR. I thank my friend. The second and final question I have 
is when will we consider, in light of the comments made by my friend 
from Minnesota, Mr. Sabo, when will we consider the budget resolution?
  Mr. HASTERT. We would hope that the budget bill will be marked up 
next week and considered the following week.
  Mr. BONIOR. I thank my friend. I wish him a good weekend and good 
traveling.
  Mr. HASTERT. Same to you, sir.
