ANNOUNCEMENT OF INTENTION TO OFFER MOTION TO INSTRUCT CONFEREES ON H.R. 
 4577, DEPARTMENTS OF LABOR, HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES, EDUCATION AND 
               RELATED AGENCIES APPROPRIATIONS ACT, 2001

  Mr. BENTSEN. Mr. Speaker, pursuant to clause 7(c) of House rule XXII, 
I hereby notify the House of my intention tomorrow to offer the 
following motion to instruct House conferees on H.R. 4577, a bill 
making appropriations for fiscal year 2001 for the Departments of 
Labor, Health and Human Services and Education.
  I move 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. 4577, be instructed, in resolving the differences 
between the two Houses on the funding level for program management in 
carrying out titles XI, XVIII, XIX, and XXI of the Social Security Act, 
to choose a level that reflects a requirement that State plans for 
medical assistance under such title XIX provide for adequate 
reimbursement of physicians, providers of services, and suppliers 
furnishing items and services under the plan in the State.
