 ANNOUNCEMENT OF INTENTION TO OFFER A RESOLUTION RAISING A QUESTION OF 
                        PRIVILEGES OF THE HOUSE

  Mr. MILLER of California. Pursuant to clause 2 of rule IX, I hereby 
give notice of my intention to offer a resolution which raises a 
question of privileges of the House. The form of the resolution is as 
follows:

       Be it resolved that the Select Committee on Ethics should 
     complete its final report concerning Representative Newt 
     Gingrich, and release that report to the public, before the 
     House of Representatives considers a disciplinary resolution 
     concerning the matter.

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Under rule IX, a resolution offered from the 
floor by a Member other than the majority leader or the minority leader 
as a question of the privileges of the House has immediate precedence 
only at a time or place designated by the Chair in the legislative 
schedule within 2 legislative days its being properly noticed. That 
designation will be announced at a later time. In the meantime, the 
form of the resolution noticed by the gentleman from California [Mr. 
Miller] will appear in the Record at this point.
  The Chair is not at this point making a determination as to whether 
the resolution constitutes a question of privilege. That determination 
will be made at the time designated for the consideration of the 
resolution.
