  APPOINTMENT OF CONFEREES ON H.R. 3005, SECURITIES AMENDMENTS OF 1996

  Mr. BLILEY. Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent to take from the 
Speaker's table the bill (H.R. 3005) to amend the Federal securities 
laws in order to promote efficiency and capital formation in the 
financial markets, and to amend the Investment Company Act of 1940 to 
promote more efficient management of mutual funds, protect investors, 
and provide more effective and less burdensome regulation, with a 
Senate amendment thereto, disagree to the Senate amendment, and agree 
to the conference asked by the Senate.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the 
gentleman from Virginia?
  Mr. DINGELL. Mr. Speaker, reserving the right to object, I do so 
simply to have a very brief colloquy with my respected and dear friend, 
the gentleman from Virginia [Mr. Bliley].
  Mr. BLILEY. Mr. Speaker, will the gentleman yield?
  Mr. DINGELL. I yield to the gentleman from Virginia, but I believe 
the request for the appointment of conferees represents the agreement 
that we have had earlier; is that correct?
  Mr. BLILEY. Mr. Speaker, the gentleman is absolutely correct.
  Mr. DINGELL. Then, Mr. Speaker, I do not object.
  Mr. Speaker, I withdraw my reservation of objection.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the 
gentleman from Minnesota? The Chair hears none and, without objection, 
appoints the following conferees: Messrs. Bliley, Fields of Texas, 
Oxley, Tauzin, Schaefer, Deal of Georgia, Frisa, White, Dingell, 
Markey, Boucher, Gordon, Ms. Furse, and Mr. Klink.
  There was no objection.
