  ANNOUNCEMENT REGARDING AMENDMENT PROCESS ON H.R. 883, AMERICAN LAND 
                       SOVEREIGNTY PROTECTION ACT

  Mr. DREIER. Mr. Speaker, the Committee on Rules is planning to meet 
the week of May 17 to grant a rule which may limit the amendment 
process on H.R. 883, the American Land Sovereignty Protection Act.
  The rule may, at the request of the Committee on Resources, include a 
provision requiring amendments to be preprinted in the amendment 
section of the Congressional Record. Amendments to be preprinted should 
be signed by the Member and submitted to the Speaker's table. 
Amendments should be drafted in the text of the bill as reported by the 
Committee on Resources. Members should use the Office of Legislative 
Counsel to ensure that their amendments are properly drafted and should 
check with the Office of the Parliamentarian to make sure their 
amendments comply with the rules of the House.
