ANNOUNCEMENT OF INTENTION TO OFFER MOTION TO INSTRUCT CONFEREES ON H.R. 
               1501, JUVENILE JUSTICE REFORM ACT OF 1999

  Ms. LOFGREN. Madam Speaker, pursuant to clause 7(c) of rule XXII, I 
hereby announce my intention to offer a motion to instruct conferees on 
H.R. 1501 tomorrow. The form of the motion is as follows:

       Ms. Lofgren 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. 1501, be 
     instructed to insist that the committee of conference should 
     have its first substantive meeting to offer amendments and 
     motions within the next 2 weeks.

  Madam Speaker, while I understand the House rules do not allow 
Members to coauthor motions to instruct, I would like to say that the 
gentlewoman from New York (Mrs. McCarthy) supports this motion and 
intends to speak on its behalf tomorrow.

                          ____________________
