                SEQUENTIAL REFERRALS--S. 225 AND S. 400

  Mr. CRAIG. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that S. 225 and S. 
400 be sequentially referred to the Committee on Banking, Housing, and 
Urban Affairs. I further ask consent that if these bills are not 
reported out of the Banking Committee by November 2, the bills then be 
automatically discharged from the committee and placed on the calendar.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. Enzi). Without objection, it is so 
ordered.
  Mr. CRAIG. I ask unanimous consent that a letter to Senator Lott 
relative to the two bills, S. 225 and S. 400, be printed in the Record.
  There being no objection, the letter was ordered to be printed in the 
Record, as follows:

                                                  U.S. Senate,

                                 Washington, DC, October 26, 1999.
     Hon. Trent Lott,
     Majority Leader, U.S. Senate,
     Washington, DC.
       Dear Senator Lott: We respectfully request that unanimous 
     consent be sought so that the Committee on Banking, Housing, 
     and Urban Affairs may be granted a sequential referral of the 
     ``Native American Housing Assistance and Self-Determination 
     Act Amendments of 1999'' (S. 400) and the ``Native American 
     Housing Assistance and Self-Determination Act Amendments of 
     1999'' (S. 255). These bills have been referred to the 
     Committee on Indian Affairs, although they contain housing 
     provisions which are under the express jurisdiction of the 
     Banking Committee.
       If S. 400 and S. 225 are not reported out by the Committee 
     on Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs by November 2, 1999, 
     such bills will be automatically discharged from the 
     Committee.
       Thank you for your consideration.
     Phil Gramm,
       Chairman, Committee on Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs.
     Wayne Allard,
       Chairman, Subcommittee on Housing and Transportation.
     Ben Nighthorse Campbell,
       Chairman, Committee on Indian Affairs.
     Paul Sarbanes,
       Ranking Member, Committee on Banking, Housing and Urban 
     Affairs.
     John F. Kerry,
       Ranking Member, Subcommittee on Housing and Transportation.
     Daniel Inouye,
       Vice Chairman, Committee on Indian Affairs.
