                              ACT OF 1996

  Mr. HOBSON. Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent that it be in order 
at any time for the Speaker, pursuant to clause 1(b) of rule XXII, to 
declare the House resolved into the Committee of the Whole House on the 
State of the Union for consideration of the bill (H.R. 3734) to provide 
for reconciliation pursuant to section 201(a)(1) of the concurrent 
resolution on the budget for fiscal year 1997, that the first reading 
of the bill be dispensed with, that all points of order against 
consideration of the bill be waived, that general debate be confined to 
the bill and be limited to 2 hours equally divided and controlled by 
the chairman and ranking minority member of the Committee on the 
Budget, that after general debate the Committee of the Whole rise 
without motion, and that no further consideration of the bill be in 
order except pursuant to a subsequent order of the House.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mr. Barrett of Nebraska). Is there objection 
to the request of the gentleman from Ohio?
  There was no objection.
