   ANNOUNCEMENT REGARDING AMENDMENT PROCESS FOR DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA 
                        APPROPRIATIONS ACT, 2001

  Mr. SESSIONS. Mr. Speaker, a Dear Colleague letter will be sent to 
all Members informing them that the Committee on Rules may meet next 
week to grant a rule for the consideration of the District of Columbia 
Appropriations Act for the fiscal year 2001.
  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.
  The Committee on Appropriations ordered the bill reported this 
afternoon and the Committee on Appropriations expects to file the 
report on the bill on Tuesday of next week. Copies of the bill as 
ordered reported can be obtained at the Office of Legislative Counsel 
and at the Committee on Appropriations office in Room H-218 of the 
Capitol.
  Members should use the Office of Legislative Counsel to ensure that 
their amendments are properly drafted, and should check with the Office 
of the Parliamentarian to be certain their amendments comply with the 
rules of the House.
