 PROVIDING FOR CONSIDERATION OF H.R. 1871, 1997 EMERGENCY SUPPLEMENTAL 
    APPROPRIATIONS ACT FOR RECOVERY FROM NATURAL DISASTERS, AND FOR 
        OVERSEAS PEACEKEEPING EFFORTS, INCLUDING THOSE IN BOSNIA

  Mr. LIVINGSTON. Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent that the 
Committee on Appropriations and the Committee on the Budget be 
considered discharged from further consideration of the bill--H.R. 
1871--making emergency supplemental appropriations for recovery from 
natural disasters, and for overseas peacekeeping efforts, including 
those in Bosnia, for the fiscal year ending September 30, 1997, and for 
other purposes, when called up; and that it shall be in order at any 
time to consider the bill in the House, and that the bill be debatable 
for not to exceed 1 hour; to be equally divided and controlled by 
myself and the gentleman from Wisconsin [Mr. Obey]; and that all points 
of order against the bill and against its consideration be waived; and 
that the previous question be considered as ordered on the bill to 
final passage without intervening motion, except one motion to 
recommit, with or without instructions.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the 
gentleman from Louisiana?
  There was no objection.
