MAKING IN ORDER ON JULY 25, 2000, OR ANY DAY THEREAFTER, CONSIDERATION 
OF H.J. RES. 99, DISAPPROVING EXTENSION OF MOST FAVORED NATION TRADING 
                           STATUS TO VIETNAM

  Mr. DREIER. Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent that it be in order 
at any time on July 25, 2000, or any day thereafter, to consider in the 
House the joint resolution (H.J. Res. 99) disapproving the extension of 
the waiver authority contained in section 402(c) of the Trade Act of 
1974, with respect to Vietnam; 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 one hour, equally divided and controlled by 
the chairman of the Committee on Ways and Means in opposition to the 
joint resolution and a Member in support of the joint resolution; that 
pursuant to sections 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 provisions of sections 
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 
Vietnam for the remainder of the second session of the One Hundred 
Sixth Congress.

                              {time}  1830

  Mr. Speaker, let me say it is the intention of this unanimous consent 
request that the 1 hour of debate be yielded fairly between Members of 
the majority and minority parties on both sides of this issue.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mr. Kuykendall). Is there any objection to 
the request of the gentleman from California?
  There was no objection.
