   DEEMING THE HOUSE TO HAVE AGREED TO A CONFERENCE REQUESTED BY THE 
   SENATE AND THE SPEAKER TO HAVE APPOINTED CONFEREES ON H.R. 2400, 
    BUILDING EFFICIENT SURFACE TRANSPORTATION AND EQUITY ACT OF 1998

  Mr. SHUSTER. Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent that if and when 
the Clerk receives a message from the Senate indicating that that body 
has passed the bill, H.R. 2400, with an amendment, insisted upon its 
amendment, and requested a conference with the House, the House be 
deemed to have disagreed to the amendment of the Senate and agreed to 
the conference requested by the Senate, and that the Speaker be deemed 
to have appointed conferees without intervening motion.
  The SPEAKER. Is there objection to the request of the gentleman from 
Pennsylvania?
  There was no objection.
  The SPEAKER. The Speaker will make the appointment of conferees 
shortly.
