 LIMITING AMENDMENTS AND TIME FOR CONSIDERATION ON CERTAIN AMENDMENTS 
   DURING FURTHER CONSIDERATION OF H.R. 3540, WISCONSIN WORKS WAIVER 
                              APPROVAL ACT

  Mr. CALLAHAN. Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent that during the 
further consideration of H.R. 3540 in the Committee of the Whole, 
pursuant to the House Resolution 445, that no amendments to the bill 
shall be in order except the following amendments, if offered by the 
Member specified or his designee:
  Amendments numbered 54, 58, and 76 offered by the gentleman from 
Wisconsin [Mr. Obey]; amendment No. 10 offered by the gentleman from 
Massachusetts [Mr. Frank]; amendment No. 69 offered by the gentleman 
from Indiana [Mr. Souder]; and amendment No. 75 offered by the 
gentleman from New Jersey [Mr. Zimmer].
  I further ask unanimous consent that debate on each amendment and all 
amendments thereto shall be limited to 20 minutes, equally divided and 
controlled by the proponent and an opponent, except that amendments 
numbered 54 and 10 shall each be debatable for not to exceed 45 
minutes, and consideration of these amendments proceed without 
intervening motion, except one motion to rise, if offered by myself.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the 
gentleman from Alabama?
  Mr. OBEY. Reserving the right to object, Mr. Speaker, could I simply 
ask the gentleman, on amendment No. 69, I confess I am not fully 
familiar with the contents. Is there any intention that there is going 
to be an amendment to amendment No. 69?
  Mr. CALLAHAN. Mr. Speaker, will the gentleman yield?
  Mr. OBEY. I yield to the gentleman from Alabama.
  Mr. CALLAHAN. Mr. Speaker, I would tell the gentleman, not to my 
knowledge. I think the gentleman from Indiana [Mr. Souder] had two 
amendments. The second amendment I think is amendment No. 69, which he 
intends to offer, an amendment on Mexico that has to do with 
encouraging them to crack down on drug trafficking. There is no second 
degree amendment.
  Mr. OBEY. There is no amendment? I thank the gentleman, Mr. Speaker.
  Mr. Speaker, I withdraw my reservation of objection.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the 
gentleman from Alabama?
  There was no objection.
