     ANNOUNCEMENT REGARDING AMENDMENTS TO H.R. 3130, CHILD SUPPORT 
                 PERFORMANCE AND INCENTIVE ACT OF 1988

  (Mr. SOLOMON asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. SOLOMON. Mr. Speaker, I ask for this time for the purpose of 
making an announcement.
  Mr. Speaker, I rise to inform the House of the Committee on Rules' 
plans in regard to H.R. 3130, the Child Support Performance and 
Incentive Act of 1998.
  The bill was ordered reported by the Committee on Ways and Means on 
February 25, and the report is expected to be filed in the House on 
Friday, February 27, tomorrow.
  The Committee on Rules will meet next week to grant a rule which may 
require that amendments to H.R. 3130, the Child Support Performance and 
Incentive Act of 1998, be preprinted in the Congressional Record. 
Amendments to be preprinted would need to be signed by the Member and 
submitted at the Speaker's table.
  Members should use the Office of Legislative Counsel to ensure that 
their amendments are properly drafted and should check the Office of 
the Parliamentarian to be certain that their amendments comply with the 
rules of the House.
  Mr. Speaker, this is intended to be an open rule, but there could be 
the preprinting requirement, and I just wanted to make sure that the 
Members understood that. This is a good bill, and we should take it up 
early next week.
