          4278, OMNIBUS CONSOLIDATED APPROPRIATIONS ACT, 1997

  Mr. LIVINGSTON. Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent that it be in 
order to consider the conference report to accompany the bill (H.R. 
3610) making appropriations for the Department of Defense for the 
fiscal year ending September 30, 1997, and for other purposes; that all 
points of order against the conference report and against its 
consideration be waived; that the conference report be considered as 
read, and upon adoption of the conference report, notwithstanding any 
rule of the House to the contrary, the bill, H.R. 4278, making omnibus 
consolidated appropriations for the fiscal year ending September 30, 
1997, and for other purposes, be considered as passed.

gentleman from Louisiana?
  There was no objection.
