                          LEGISLATIVE PROGRAM

  (Mr. BONIOR asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. BONIOR. Mr. Speaker, I rise for the purposes of engaging the 
distinguished majority Whip about the schedule for the rest of this 
week and next week.
  Mr. DeLAY. Mr. Speaker, will the gentleman yield?
  Mr. BONIOR. I yield to my friend from Texas.
  Mr. DeLAY. I thank the distinguished minority whip for yielding, and, 
Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to announce that we have concluded our 
legislative business for the week.
  On Monday, May 6, the House will meet in pro forma session. There 
will be no legislative business and no votes on that day.
  On Tuesday, May 7, the House will meet at 12:30 p.m. for morning hour 
and 2 p.m. for legislative business. Members should note we do 
anticipate votes soon after 2 p.m. on Tuesday.
   Mr. Speaker, on Tuesday, May 7, we will consider a number of bills 
under suspension of the rules. I will not read through the list at this 
time, but a complete schedule will be distributed to all Members' 
offices.
  After consideration of the suspensions we will take up two crime 
bills, both of which are subject to rules: H.R. 2974, the Crimes 
Against Children and Elderly Persons Increased Punishment Act, and H.R. 
3120, a bill regarding witness retaliation, witness tampering and jury 
tampering.
  For Wednesday, May 8 and the balance of the week the House will 
consider the following bills:
  H.R. 3322, a bill to authorize appropriations for fiscal year 1997 
for civilian science activities; two resolutions, House Resolution 416 
and 417, establishing a select subcommittee to investigate the United 
States role in Iranian arm transfers to Croatia and Bosnia; H.R. 3286, 
a bill to help families defray adoption costs and promote the adoption 
of minority children; and H.R. 2406, the United States Housing Act of 
1995.
   Mr. Speaker, we should finish legislative business and have Members 
on their way home to their families by 2 p.m. on Friday, May 10, and I 
thank the gentleman for yielding me this time.
  Mr. BONIOR. Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for his remarks, and I 
just have two questions for my friend from Texas.
  Could the gentleman inform the House when we will consider the budget 
resolution?
  Mr. DeLAY. Unfortunately, we were not able to mark up the budget this 
week. We anticipate marking it up next week and bringing it to the 
floor the following week.
  Mr. BONIOR. And how about the health care bill? When do we expect to 
go to conference on the health care bill?
  Mr. DeLAY. Evidently we are working with the other body, and we hope 
to appoint conferees sometime next week.
  Mr. BONIOR. Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentleman, and I wish him well 
this weekend.
  Mr. DeLAY. Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentleman for yielding to me, and 
I wish everyone a safe weekend.
