                          LEGISLATIVE PROGRAM

  (Mr. SOLOMON asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. SOLOMON. Mr. Speaker, the last order of business this evening 
will be a rule which will make in order two hours of general debate 
only, no amendments, and then tomorrow the first order of business will 
be taking up another rule on the defense authorization bill which will 
then make in order amendments. But for this evening, there will be no 
further votes if there is no vote on this rule.
  I would ask the gentleman from Texas if it is his understanding that 
he does not intend to ask for a vote on this rule.
  Mr. FROST. Mr. Speaker, will the gentleman yield?
  Mr. SOLOMON. I yield to the gentleman from Texas.
  Mr. FROST. Mr. Speaker, I do not intend to ask for a vote on this 
rule. I know of no one on my side of the aisle who is going to ask for 
a vote on this rule.
  Mr. SOLOMON. Mr. Speaker, if we can then proceed with the debate on 
the rule, we do not intend to use much time on it and then we can go 
right to the general debate.
