    ANNOUNCEMENT REGARDING AMENDMENT PROCESS FOR H.R. 1993, EXPORT 
                        ENHANCEMENT ACT OF 1999

  Mr. DREIER. Mr. Speaker, today I sent a Dear Colleague to all Members 
informing them that the Committee on Rules is planning to meet next 
week to grant a rule for the consideration of H.R. 1993, the Export 
Enhancement 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 their consideration on the 
floor.
  Amendments should be drafted to the version of the bill reported by 
the Committee on International Relations. 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 be 
certain their amendments comply with the rules of the House.
  I join in extending happy Columbus Day to all of our colleagues.

                          ____________________
