 HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES ADMINISTRATIVE REFORM TECHNICAL CORRECTIONS 
                                  ACT

  Mr. THOMAS. Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent to take from the 
Speaker's table the bill (H.R. 2739) to provide for a representational 
allowance for Members of the House of Representatives, to make 
technical and conforming changes to sundry provisions of law in 
consequence of administrative reforms in the House of Representatives, 
and for other purposes, with Senate amendments thereto and concur in 
the Senate amendments.
  The Clerk read the title of the bill.
  The Clerk read the Senate amendments, as follows:

       Senate amendments:
       Page 2, in the table of contents, strike out: ``Sec. 107. 
     Cafeteria plan provision.''
       Page 2, in the table of contents, strike out ``108'' and 
     insert ``107''.
       Page 2, in the table of contents, strike out ``109'' and 
     insert ``108''.
       Page 14, strike out lines 1 through 23.
       Page 15, line 1, strike out ``108'' and insert ``107''.
       Page 16, line 1, strike out ``109'' and insert ``108''.

  Mr. THOMAS (during the reading). Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent 
that the Senate amendments be considered as read and printed in the 
Record.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the 
gentleman from California?
  Mr. FAZIO of California. Reserving the right to object, Mr. Speaker, 
and I will not object, I would like to yield to my friend, the 
gentleman from California [Mr. Thomas], to describe his request.
  Mr. THOMAS. Mr. Speaker, this is the Administrative Reform Technical 
Corrections Act. We passed it back in March, March 19, as a matter of 
fact. The Senate passed the bill June 28. They added one amendment to 
section 107 of the bill. The purpose of this unanimous-consent request 
is to agree to that Senate amendment.
  Mr. FAZIO of California. Reclaiming my time, Mr. Speaker, the 
minority has no problem with the legislation before us or any of the 
other four resolutions that the gentleman will present, and we would 
certainly not object to their adoption at this time.
  Mr. Speaker, I withdraw my reservation of objection.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the 
gentleman from California?
  There was no objection.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the original request 
of the gentleman from California?
  There was no objection.
  A motion to reconsider was laid on the table.
