 FURTHER LIMITATION OF AMENDMENTS DURING FURTHER CONSIDERATION OF H.R. 
   2159, FOREIGN OPERATIONS, EXPORT FINANCING, AND RELATED PROGRAMS 
                        APPROPRIATIONS ACT, 1998

  Mr. CALLAHAN. Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent that during 
further consideration of the bill, H.R. 2159, no further amendments 
shall be in order in the Committee of the Whole except the amendment 
Number 1 in House Report 105-184, and the amendment to that amendment, 
under the terms of the order of the House of July 24, 1997, and the 
pending amendment, Number 38, offered by the gentleman from Indiana 
[Mr. Burton], and the amendment, Number 40, offered by Mr. Burton.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the 
gentleman from Alabama?
  Mr. ACKERMAN. Reserving the right to object, Mr. Speaker, is it my 
understanding that under the two Burton amendments there is no 
limitation on the time? We will be under the 5-minute rule?
  Mr. CALLAHAN. Mr. Speaker, will the gentleman yield?
  Mr. ACKERMAN. I yield to the gentleman from Alabama.
  Mr. CALLAHAN. Mr. Speaker, the gentleman is correct.
  Mr. ACKERMAN. Mr. Speaker, I withdraw my reservation of objection.
  Mr. BURTON of Indiana. Reserving the right to object, Mr. Speaker, I 
just wanted to double check amendments 38 and 40. Now 38 is the one 
that we are on?
  Mr. CALLAHAN. Mr. Speaker, will the gentleman yield?
  Mr. BURTON of Indiana. I yield to the gentleman from Alabama.
  Mr. CALLAHAN. Mr. Speaker, that is the one we are on now, and 40 is 
the one the gentleman from Indiana indicated he wanted to introduce.
  Mr. BURTON of Indiana. Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentleman from 
Alabama.
  Mr. Speaker, I withdraw my reservation of objection.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the 
gentleman from Alabama?
  There was no objection.
