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

  Mr. WU. Mr. Speaker, pursuant to clause 7(c) of House rule XXII, I 
hereby serve notice to 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.
  The form of the motion is as follows:

       Mr. Wu moves that the managers on the part of the House at 
     the conference on the disagreeing votes of the two Houses on 
     the bill, H.R. 4577, be instructed to insist on disagreeing 
     with provisions in the Senate amendment which denies the 
     President's request for dedicated resources to reduce class 
     size in the early grades and instead, broadly expands the 
     Title VI Education Block Grant with limited accountability in 
     the use of funds.

  Mr. Speaker, this is the same motion which I noticed on Sunday 
evening for debate on Monday and it is made necessary by the fact that 
we had an agreement on Monday morning funding this at the full $1.75 
billion amount, and that agreement was broken by noon. I must renotice 
this motion at this time.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mr. Pease). The gentleman's notice will 
appear in the Record.

                          ____________________
