 REQUEST FOR PERMISSION TO HAVE UNTIL MIDNIGHT, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, 
      1996, TO FILE CONFERENCE REPORT ON H.R. 3675, DEPARTMENT OF 
      TRANSPORTATION AND RELATED AGENCIES APPROPRIATIONS ACT, 1997

  Mr. MYERS of Indiana. Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent that the 
managers on the part of theHouse may have until midnight Friday, 
September 13, 1996, to file a conference report on the bill H.R. 3675, 
a bill making appropriations for the Department of Transportation and 
related agencies for the fiscal year 1997, and for other purposes.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mr. LaTourette). Is there objection to the 
request of the gentleman from Indiana?
  Mr. OBEY. Mr. Speaker, reserving the right to object, I would urge 
that the gentleman withhold that request.
  I do not personally have an objection to its being filed, I support 
the bill, but I have been informed by our leadership that another 
committee does, and absent their presence, I would feel obligated to 
object if the motion is made at this time.
  Mr. MYERS of Indiana. Mr. Speaker, I will withdraw it. I understood 
it had been cleared by the gentleman's side.
  Mr. OBEY. Mr. Speaker, it had been cleared as far as the committee is 
concerned, but we were just informed by our leadership that there is a 
problem with another committee.
  Mr. MYERS of Indiana. Mr. Speaker, I withdraw my unanimous-consent 
request at this time.
