 ANNOUNCEMENT REGARDING SUBMISSION OF AMENDMENTS ON H.R. 10, FINANCIAL 
                          SERVICES ACT OF 1999

  Mr. DREIER. Mr. Speaker, first I am proud to stand next to this 
trophy for the 17-to-1 victory last night.
  Mr. Speaker, I rise to inform the House of the Committee on Rules' 
plans in regard to H.R. 10, the Financial Services Act of 1999. Today I 
inform the House of the Committee on Rules' plans regarding this bill 
in a ``Dear Colleague'' letter which I have just sent out.
  The Committee on Rules will be meeting the week of June 28 to grant a 
rule which may restrict the offering of amendments to the Financial 
Services Act of 1999.
  The bill was reported by the Committee on Banking and Financial 
Services on March 23 of 1999 and by the Committee on Commerce on June 
15, 1999.
  Any Member contemplating an amendment should submit 55 copies of the 
amendment and a brief explanation to the Committee on Rules up in H-312 
of the Capitol no later than Tuesday, June 29, at 3 p.m.
  Amendments should be drafted to the amendment in the nature of the 
substitute printed in the GPO Committee on Rules print which will be 
available to Members later today in the Committee on Rules' office. A 
version of the amendment in the nature of a substitute is now available 
on our Committee on Rules Web site. Members should use the Office of 
Legislative Counsel to assure that their amendments are properly 
drafted and should check with the Office of the Parliamentarian to be 
certain that their amendments comply with the rules of the House.
