 ELECTION OF MEMBERS TO THE JOINT COMMITTEE ON PRINTING AND THE JOINT 
                        COMMITTEE ON THE LIBRARY

  Mr. NEY. Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent that the Committee on 
House Oversight be discharged from further consideration of the 
resolution (H. Res. 85) electing members of the Joint Committee on 
Printing and the Joint Committee of Congress on the Library, and ask 
for its immediate consideration.
  The Clerk read the title of the resolution.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. (Mr. Riggs). Is there objection to the 
request of the gentleman from Ohio?
  Mr. GEJDENSON. Reserving the right to object, Mr. Speaker, I will not 
object, but I am just curious as to the gentleman's motion, being the 
ranking member on the committee.
  I yield to the gentleman from California [Mr. Thomas] to get a full 
explanation.
  Mr. THOMAS. Mr. Speaker, I would tell the gentleman that it is the 
appointment of Democrats and Republicans to the Joint Committee on 
Printing. We had gone over the list and cleared it. It is just that it 
is a unanimous consent, and we wanted to make sure that we were able to 
get it in prior to the possibility of a motion to adjourn.
