      ANNOUNCEMENT OF EMERGENCY MEETING OF THE COMMITTEE ON RULES

  (Mr. SOLOMON asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. SOLOMON. Mr. Speaker, because of the recent objection it is very 
important that we take up the prohibition against Federal funds being 
used for assisted suicides this week, and therefore I would announce 
that there is going to be a special emergency meeting of the Committee 
on Rules this afternoon at 5 o'clock and would urge Committee on Rules 
members to attend, and I will be attempting to contact the gentleman 
from Massachusetts [Mr. Moakley], the ranking minority member, to pass 
along this information.
