 MAKING IN ORDER AT ANY TIME ON JULY 18, 2000, OR ANY DAY THEREAFTER, 
       CONSIDERATION OF H.J. RES. 103, AUTHORIZING EXTENSION OF 
   NONDISCRIMINATORY TREATMENT (NORMAL TRADE RELATIONS TREATMENT) TO 
                       PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF CHINA

  Mr. DREIER. Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent that it be in order 
at any time on July 18 of 2000, or any day thereafter, to consider in 
the House the joint resolution (H.J. Res. 103) disapproving the 
extension of the waiver authority contained in section 402(c) of the 
Trade Act of 1974 with respect to the People's Republic of China; that 
the joint resolution be considered as read for amendment; that all 
points of order against the joint resolution and against its 
consideration be waived; that the joint resolution be debatable for 2 
hours equally divided and controlled by the Chairman of the Committee 
on Ways and Means, in opposition of the joint resolution, and a Member 
in support of the joint resolution; that pursuant to section 152 and 
153 of the Trade Act of 1974, the previous question be considered as 
ordered on the joint resolution to final passage without intervening 
motion; and that the provision of section 152 and 153 of the Trade Act 
of 1974 shall not otherwise apply to any joint resolution disapproving 
the extension of the waiver authority contained in section 402(c) of 
the Trade Act of 1974 with respect to the People's Republic of China 
for the remainder of the second session of the 106th Congress.
  Mr. Speaker, let me say that it is the intention of this unanimous 
consent request that the 2 hours of debate be yielded fairly between 
Members of the majority and the minority parties on both sides of this 
issue.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the 
gentleman from California?
  There was no objection.
