 ANNOUNCEMENT REGARDING SUBMISSION OF AMENDMENTS ON H.R. 2389, COUNTY 
               SCHOOLS FUNDING REVITALIZATION ACT OF 1999

  (Mr. DREIER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. DREIER. Mr. Speaker, this afternoon a Dear Colleague letter was 
sent to all Members informing them that the Committee on Rules is 
planning to meet the week of November 1 to grant a rule for 
consideration of H.R. 2389, the County Schools Funding Revitalization 
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 an amendment in the nature of a 
substitute offered by the gentleman from Virginia (Mr. Goodlatte) which 
will be printed in today's Congressional Record and numbered 1.
  It is the intention of the Committee on Rules to make in order the 
amendment offered by the gentleman from Virginia (Mr. Goodlatte) as 
base text for the purpose of further amendment. Members should use the 
Office of Legislative Counsel to assure that 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.
