   ANNOUNCEMENT OF AMENDMENT PROCESS FOR CONSIDERATION OF H.R. 2506, 
                HEALTH RESEARCH AND QUALITY ACT OF 1999

  Mr. REYNOLDS. Madam Speaker, last Friday a ``Dear Colleague'' letter 
was sent to all Members informing them that the Committee on Rules is 
planning to meet this week to grant a rule for the consideration of 
H.R. 2506, the Health Research and Quality Act of 1999.
  The Committee on Rules may grant a rule which would require that 
amendments be preprinted in the Congressional Record. In this case, 
amendments must be preprinted prior to consideration of the bill on the 
floor.
  Amendments should be drafted to the version of the bill reported by 
the Committee on Commerce.
  Members should use the Office of Legislative Counsel to ensure 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.
