ANNOUNCEMENT REGARDING PREPRINTING OF AMENDMENTS ON H.R. 2391, WORKING 
                        FAMILIES FLEXIBILITY ACT

  (Ms. GREENE of Utah asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. GREENE of Utah. Mr. Speaker, the Committee on Rules is planning 
to meet this Wednesday, July 24, to grant a rule which may limit the 
kinds of amendments which may be offered to H.R. 2391, the Working 
Families Flexibility Act, also known as the comp time bill.
  The rule may, at the request of the Committee on Economic and 
Educational Opportunities, include a provision requiring amendments be 
preprinted in the amendment section of the Congressional Record.
  Amendments to be preprinted should be signed by the Member and 
submitted at the Speaker's table. The bill may be considered for 
amendment under the 5-minute rule, with a possible overall time 
limitation on the amendment process. Members should use the Office of 
Legislative Counsel to ensure that their amendments are properly 
drafted, and should check with the office of the Parliamentarian to be 
certain their amendments comply with the rules of the House. It is not 
necessary to submit amendments to the Committee on Rules or to testify.
