  Mr. ROGERS. Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent that the following 
committees and their subcommittees be permitted to sit today while the 
House is meeting in the Committee of the Whole under the 5-minute rule:
  Committee on Agriculture; Committee on Banking and Financial 
Services; Committee on Commerce; Committee on Economic and Educational

   MODIFICATION TO UNANIMOUS-CONSENT AGREEMENT PROVIDING FOR FURTHER 
   CONSIDERATION OF H.R. 3814, DEPARTMENTS OF COMMERCE, JUSTICE, AND 
  STATE, THE JUDICIARY, AND RELATED AGENCIES APPROPRIATIONS ACT, 1997

  Mr. ROGERS. Mr. Speaker, last night I offered a unanimous-consent 
request that was agreed to for the further consideration of H.R. 3814. 
There was an inadvertent error in that request that I would now like to 
correct. I ask unanimous consent that the earlier agreement be modified 
so that the gentleman from Iowa [Mr. Ganske] may offer an amendment 
regarding the patenting of medical procedures for 20 minutes instead of 
amendment No. 16 printed in the Record that is on the same subject.
  Mr. Speaker, I understand this has been cleared with the minority.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the 
gentleman from Kentucky?
  There was no objection.
