 PROVIDING FOR CONSIDERATION OF CERTAIN RESOLUTIONS IN PREPARATION FOR 
                          ADJOURNMENT SINE DIE

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The pending business is the question de novo 
on ordering the previous question on House Resolution 546.
  The Clerk read the title of the resolution.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on ordering the previous 
question.
  The question was taken; and the Speaker pro tempore announced that 
the ayes appeared to have it.
  Mr. MOAKLEY. Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent to insert material 
in the Record at this point.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the 
gentleman from Massachusetts?
  There was no objection.
  The material referred to is as follows:
  Mr. MOAKLEY. Mr. Speaker, I urge a ``no'' vote on the previous 
question. If the previous question is defeated, I will offer an 
amendment to the rule. This provision would require that the 104th 
Congress be reconvened on the first Monday after the Special Counsel 
submits his report on the Speaker to the Investigative Subcommittee of 
the Committee on Standards of Official Conduct. This would ensure that 
Members of the 104th Congress have an opportunity to act upon the 
findings of this special investigation.
  I believe it is imperative that the House take this action now to 
guarantee we can consider the Special Counsel's report. Let me make it 
clear to my colleagues, both Democrats and Republicans, that defeating 
the previous question and adopting this amendment is the only way to 
guarantee that the 104th Congress will be able to act on this matter.
  I ask unanimous consent that the text of this amendment be entered 
into the Record at this point in the debate.
  Vote ``no'' on the previous question.

       At the end of the resolution add the following new section:
       ``Sec. 10. The House of Representatives shall reconvene on 
     the first Monday after the submission of the Special 
     Counsel's report on Speaker Newt Gingrich to the 
     Investigative Subcommittee of the Committee on Standards of 
     Official Conduct.''

  Mr. Speaker, on that I demand the yeas and nays.
  The yeas and nays were ordered.
  The vote was taken by electronic device, and there were--yeas 223, 
nays 183, not voting 27, as follows:

                             [Roll No. 454]
