ANNOUNCEMENT OF AMENDMENT PROCESS FOR THE BUDGET RESOLUTION FOR FISCAL 
                               YEAR 2001

  Ms. PRYCE of Ohio. Mr. Speaker, the Committee on Rules is planning to 
meet the week of March 20 to grant a rule which will outline the 
amendment process for floor consideration of the budget resolution for 
fiscal year 2001.
  The Committee on the Budget ordered the budget resolution on March 15 
and is expected to file its committee report early next week.
  Any Member wishing to offer an amendment should submit 55 copies and 
a brief explanation of the amendment to the Committee on Rules in room 
H-312 of the Capitol by 4 o'clock p.m. on Tuesday, March 21. As in 
recent years, the Committee on Rules intends to look more favorably 
toward amendments offered as complete substitutes.
  Members should also use the Office of Legislative Counsel and the 
Congressional Budget Office to ensure that their substitute amendments 
are properly drafted and scored and should check with the Office of the 
Parliamentarian to be certain their substitute amendments comply with 
the Rules of the House.
