 2670, DEPARTMENTS OF COMMERCE, JUSTICE, AND STATE, THE JUDICIARY, AND 
               RELATED AGENCIES APPROPRIATIONS ACT, 2000

  Mr. TANCREDO. Mr. Speaker, pursuant to clause 7c of rule XXII, I 
hereby announce my intention to offer a motion to instruct conferees 
tomorrow on H.R. 2670, the Commerce/Justice/State appropriations bill.
  Mr. Speaker, the form of the motion is as follows:

       Mr. Tancredo moves that the managers on the part of the 
     House at the conference on the disagreeing votes of the two 
     Houses on the Senate amendment to the bill, H.R. 2670, be 
     instructed to agree, to the extent within the scope of the 
     conference, to provisions that, one, reduce nonessential 
     spending in programs authorized within the Departments of 
     Commerce, Justice and State, the Judiciary and other related 
     agencies; and, two, reduce spending on international 
     organizations, in particular, in order to honor the 
     commitment of the Congress to protect Social Security; and, 
     three, do not increase overall spending to a level that 
     exceeds the higher of the House bill or the Senate amendment.
