                          LEGISLATIVE PROGRAM

  (Mr. ARMEY asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. ARMEY. Mr. Speaker, I would like to take a moment to advise all 
Members of the body that we have had the last vote for today. We will 
continue with many items that we have under consideration, many items 
that are already cleared, some that we are still working on clearance 
for the Suspension Calendar. The negotiations continue as my colleagues 
know. We are optimistic that we will be able to conclude them this 
week.
  But for now, Mr. Speaker, we will have no more recorded votes today, 
and Members should be advised that there will be recorded votes 
tomorrow after 3 o'clock. I know many Members would like to make short 
trips back to their district; and insofar as that is possible, we 
certainly do not want to discourage that. But the body should be 
advised there will be votes tomorrow after 3 o'clock.
  Mr. TRAFICANT. Mr. Speaker, will the gentleman yield?
  Mr. ARMEY. I am happy to yield to the gentleman from Ohio.
  Mr. TRAFICANT. Mr. Speaker, we have an important issue dealing with 
the surge of steel imports, and I had scheduled today, which is the 
second calendar day under House rules, to bring forth the Question of 
Privilege on that resolution.
  I am willing to let that go if I have an understanding that the 
resolution that I have submitted at the desk with a number of 
cosponsors and coauthors from both sides, if that will be scheduled for 
a vote in the House tomorrow or at least before we leave here.
  Mr. ARMEY. Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentleman for his inquiry. The 
gentleman, of course, has shown great interest in this matter, and I 
want to assure the gentleman, without doubt, that it will be scheduled 
for floor action and for a vote tomorrow before we leave.
