  MAKING IN ORDER ON THURSDAY, JULY 30, 1998, CONSIDERATION OF HOUSE 
 JOINT RESOLUTION 120, DISAPPROVING EXTENSION OF WAIVER AUTHORITY WITH 
                           RESPECT TO VIETNAM

  Mr. SOLOMON. Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent that it be in order 
at any time on the legislative day of Thursday, July 30, 1998, to 
consider in the House the joint resolution (H.J. Res. 120) disapproving 
the extension of the waiver of authority contained in section 402(c) of 
the Trade Act of 1974 with respect to Vietnam; that the joint 
resolution be considered as read for amendment; that all points of 
order against the joint resolution and against its consideration be 
waived; that the joint resolution be debatable for 1 hour equally 
divided and controlled by the chairman of the Committee on Ways and 
Means (in opposition to the joint resolution) and the gentlewoman from 
California (Ms. Lofgren) or her designee in support of the joint 
resolution; that pursuant to sections 152 and 153 of the Trade Act, the 
previous question be considered as ordered on the joint resolution to 
final passage without intervening motion; and that the provisions of 
sections 152 and 153 of the Trade Act of 1974 shall not otherwise apply 
to any joint resolution disapproving the extension of the waiver 
authority contained in section 402(c) of the Trade Act of 1974 with 
respect to Vietnam for the remainder of the second session of the 105th 
Congress.
  Mr. Speaker, it is the intention of this unanimous consent request 
that the majority manager in opposition to the joint resolution, who 
will probably be the gentleman from Illinois (Mr. Crane), will yield 
half of his time to a majority Member in support of the joint 
resolution; that will be the gentleman from California (Mr. 
Rohrabacher); and that the minority Member in support of the joint 
resolution, the gentlewoman from California (Ms. Lofgren) on the 
Democrat side of the aisle yield half of her time to a minority Member 
in opposition to the joint resolution, and that will probably be the 
gentleman from California (Mr. Matsui).
  The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mr. Quinn). Is there objection to the 
request of the gentleman from New York?
  There was no objection.
