                          LEGISLATIVE PROGRAM

  (Mr. DOOLEY of California asked and was given permission to address 
the House for 1 minute.)
  Mr. DOOLEY of California. Mr. Speaker, I take this time in order to 
inquire about the schedule for the week we return.
  Mr. ARMEY. Mr. Speaker, will the gentleman yield?
  Mr. DOOLEY of California. I yield to the gentleman from Texas.
  Mr. ARMEY. Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to announce we have concluded 
legislative business for the week. Next week, the House will not be in 
session due to the Memorial Day district work period.
  The House will next meet on Wednesday, June 3, at 2:00 p.m. for 
legislative business. We will consider a number of bills under 
suspension of the rules, a list of which will be distributed to 
Members' offices.
  On Wednesday, we also hope to consider H.R. 3433, the Ticket to Work 
and Self-Sufficiency Act of 1998, under a rule.
  Members should note that we do not expect any recorded votes before 
5:00 p.m. on Wednesday, June 3.
  The House will meet at 10:00 a.m. on Thursday, June 4, and 9:00 a.m. 
on Friday, June 5, to take up the following legislation:
  H.J.Res. 78--A resolution proposing an amendment to the Constitution 
of the United States restoring religious freedom; and a concurrent 
resolution on the budget for fiscal year 1999.
  Next week, the House will also continue consideration of H.R. 2183, 
the Bipartisan Campaign Integrity Act of 1997.
  Mr. Speaker, we hope to conclude legislative business for the week by 
2:00 p.m. on Friday, June 5.
  I thank the gentleman from California (Mr. Dooley) for yielding me 
the time.

                              {time}  1815

  Mr. DOOLEY of California. Mr. Speaker, if I can further inquire, I 
know there is a lot of interest on both sides of the aisle for when we 
would, once again, revisit the agricultural research bill. I was 
interested if the gentleman has any plans on when that might come 
before the House.
  Mr. ARMEY. Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentleman for asking. Of course 
we are all concerned about getting this matter resolved as soon as 
possible on behalf of the concerns we had among our American farmers. 
We are working on that, and I can say that it is my hope that we may be 
able to do it possibly in the week we return, the week of June 3.
