               1501, JUVENILE JUSTICE REFORM ACT OF 1999

  Mr. DOOLITTLE. Mr. Speaker, pursuant to clause 7C of rule XXII, I 
hereby announce my intention to offer a motion to instruct conferees on 
H.R. 1501 tomorrow.
  Mr. Speaker, the form of the motion is as follows:

       Mr. Doolittle moves that the managers on the part of the 
     House at the conference on the disagreeing votes of the two 
     Houses on the Senate amendments to the bill H.R. 1501 be 
     instructed to insist that the conference report--
       (1) recognize that the primary cause of youth violence in 
     America is depraved hearts, not inanimate weapons;
       (2) recognize that the second amendment to the Constitution 
     protects the individual right of American citizens to keep 
     and bear arms; and
       (3) not impose unconstitutional restrictions on the second 
     amendment rights of individuals.
