                          LEGISLATIVE PROGRAM

  (Mr. BONIOR asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. BONIOR. Mr. Speaker, I ask for this time for the purposes of 
inquiring from the distinguished Chief Deputy Majority Whip regarding 
the schedule for today, the remainder of the week, and the following 
week.
  Mr. HASTERT. Mr. Speaker, if the gentleman from Michigan, my good 
friend, will yield, I am pleased to announce that we have finished the 
legislative business for the week.
  The House will reconvene on Wednesday, February 11, at 3 p.m. for 
legislative business. Members should note that we do not expect any 
recorded votes before 5 p.m. on Wednesday; and on Thursday, February 
12, the House will meet at 10 a.m. for legislative business.
  On Wednesday and Thursday, the House will consider the following 
legislation: a resolution providing for consideration of motions to 
suspend the rules and a resolution regarding the contested election in 
the 46th Congressional District of California.
  Once the rule allowing suspensions next week has been agreed to, we 
hope to consider the following bills under suspension of rules:
  H.R. 1428, the Voter Eligibility Verification Act; H. Con. Res. 202, 
the Daycare Fairness for Stay-at-Home Parents; and, S. 927, the 
National Sea Grant College Program Reauthorization Act of 1997.
  Mr. Speaker, we hope to conclude legislative business for the week by 
early afternoon on Thursday, February 12. Friday, February 13, marks 
the beginning of the President's Day district work period from which 
the House will return on Tuesday, February 24.
  Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentleman for yielding me this time.
  Mr. BONIOR. Mr. Speaker, reclaiming my time, could the gentleman 
clarify two points for me? On the return date of Tuesday the 24th, can 
the gentleman enlighten us on when we can expect the first vote on that 
day?
  Mr. HASTERT. Mr. Speaker, there will be no votes until after 5 
o'clock.
  Mr. BONIOR. Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentleman.
  Finally, the gentleman said that on February 12, which is Thursday 
next, I think, we will meet at 12 for legislative business?
  Mr. HASTERT. Mr. Speaker, 10 o'clock for legislative business.
  Mr. BONIOR. Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentleman.
