    ANNOUNCEMENT OF RULES COMMITTEE MEETING AND LEGISLATIVE SCHEDULE

  Mr. SOLOMON. Mr. Speaker, the Committee on Transportation and 
Infrastructure has filed the conference report on BESTEA. The Committee 
on Rules will be meeting at 3:35 on that. Of course, all of my 
colleagues know what is in this 1,000 page bill, so it should not take 
too long.
  I would ask the Members of the Committee on Rules to please come 
upstairs right now, because we have another bill to act on. We will 
then act on BESTEA at 3:35. We will try to be back here on the floor 
within 15 or 20 minutes; and, hopefully, since we all know what is in 
the bill, we will only take a little while to debate it. We should be 
out of here by no later than 5 o'clock and possibly sooner, if 
everybody will control themselves.
