WAIVING ENROLLMENT REQUIREMENTS WITH RESPECT TO TWO BILLS OF THE 105TH 
                                CONGRESS

  Mr. DIAZ-BALART. Mr. Speaker, I offer a joint resolution (H.J. Res. 
90) waiving certain enrollment requirements with respect to two 
specified bills of the 105th Congress, and I ask unanimous consent for 
its immediate consideration.
  The Clerk read the title of the joint resolution.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the 
gentleman from Florida?
  Ms. SLAUGHTER. Mr. Speaker, reserving the right to object, I would 
like to yield to the manager for a discussion.
  Mr. DIAZ-BALART. Mr. Speaker, the rule is self-explanatory. For 
Members who may not be aware, sections 106 and 107 of title 1 of the 
United States Code require that enrolled bills, measures that have been 
passed by the House and the Senate in the same form and require the 
President's signature to become law, that they be sent to the President 
on parchment.
  So the joint resolution that I am seeking unanimous consent for, Mr. 
Speaker, waives that requirement.
  Ms. SLAUGHTER. Mr. Speaker, I withdraw my reservation of objection.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the 
gentleman from Florida?
  There was no objection.
  The Clerk read the joint resolution as follows:

                              H.J. Res. 90

       Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the 
     United States of America in Congress assembled, That the 
     provisions of sections 106 and 107 of title 1, United States 
     Code, are waived with respect to the printing (on parchment 
     or otherwise) of the enrollment of H.R. 2014 and of H.R. 2015 
     of the One Hundred Fifth Congress. The enrollment of each of 
     those bills shall be in such form as the Committee on House 
     Oversight of the House of Representatives certifies to be a 
     true enrollment.

  The joint resolution was ordered to be engrossed and read a third 
time, was read the third time, and passed, and a motion to reconsider 
was laid on the table.
  Mr. DIAZ-BALART. Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent to lay House 
Resolution 203 on the table.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the 
gentleman from Florida?
  There was no objection.
