                        REINTRODUCING H.R. 5669

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. JOHN R. KASICH

                                of ohio

                    in the house of representatives

                       Friday, December 15, 2000

  Mr. KASICH. Mr. Speaker, today I reintroduced a bill, H.R. 5669, that 
was previously introduced this Congress as H.R. 82 in order to clarify 
the appropriate referral of comparable legislation in subsequent 
Congresses. The error in the referral of the original bill resulted 
from confusion arising from House rule changes during the 104th and 
105th Congresses that granted the Budget Committee jurisdiction over 
budget process legislation.
  My staff worked closely with the Office of the Parliamentarian to 
resolve the jurisdictional issues related to this bill. My introduction 
of the bill should not be construed as indicating my support for the 
measure. In fact, I oppose the concept of taking the Civil Service 
Trust Fund off budget, which this bill would require. I also introduced 
a new bill, H.R. 5670, to establish the appropriate referral of this 
type a measure.
