  MAKING IN ORDER ON TUESDAY, MARCH 27, 2001 IN THE COMMITTEE OF THE 
  WHOLE DEBATE ON CONCURRENT RESOLUTION ON THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 
                                  2002

  Mr. DREIER. Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent that it be in order 
on Tuesday, March 27, 2001, for the Speaker, pursuant to clause 2(b) of 
rule XVIII, to declare the House resolved into the Committee of the 
Whole House on the State of the Union for a period of debate on the 
subject of the Concurrent Resolution on the Budget for Fiscal Year 
2002; that such period of debate not exceed 3 hours; that 2 hours of 
such debate be confined to the congressional budget and be equally 
divided and controlled by the chairman and ranking minority member of 
the Committee on the Budget, and that 1 hour of such debate be on the 
subject of economic goals and policies and be equally divided and 
controlled by the gentleman from New Jersey (Mr. Saxton) and the 
gentleman from California (Mr. Stark) or their designees; that after 
such period of debate, the Committee of the Whole rise without motion; 
and that no further consideration of the Concurrent Resolution on the 
Budget for Fiscal Year 2002 be in order except pursuant to a subsequent 
order of the House.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the 
gentleman from California?
  Ms. SLAUGHTER. Mr. Speaker, reserving the right to object, although I 
do not intend to object, I would like to ask a question.
  It is my understanding that the first hour of the 3 hours of general 
debate will begin at 5 p.m. on Tuesday. The remaining 2 hours will be 
resumed after the vote or votes that begin at 6 p.m. on Tuesday.
  Mr. Speaker, I yield to the gentleman from California (Mr. Dreier) to 
confirm that this is the intent of the majority.
  Mr. DREIER. Mr. Speaker, it sounds as if we coordinated things 
perfectly.
  Ms. SLAUGHTER. Mr. Speaker, I withdraw my reservation of objection.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the 
gentleman from California?
  There was no objection.
