16, 1997, to file a report on the bill, H.R. 2616, the Charter Schools 
Amendments Act of 1997, as amended.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the 
gentleman from California?
  Mr. WISE. Reserving the right to object, Mr. Speaker, has this been 
cleared with the minority?
