                          LEGISLATIVE PROGRAM

  (Ms. SLAUGHTER asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute.)
  Ms. SLAUGHTER. Mr. Speaker, I have asked for this time to inquire 
about next week's schedule, and I wish to yield to the gentleman from 
Texas (Mr. Armey).
  Mr. ARMEY. Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to announce that the House has 
completed its legislative business for the week.
  The House will next meet for legislative business on Tuesday, March 
27 at 12:30 p.m. for morning hour and 2 p.m. for legislative business. 
The House will consider a number of business under suspension of the 
rules, a list of which will be distributed to Member's offices 
tomorrow. No recorded votes are expected before 6 p.m. on Tuesday.
  Mr. Speaker, also on Tuesday the House is expected to consider the 
Omnibus Committee Funding Resolution beginning at 4 p.m. At 5 p.m., the 
House will begin 3 hours of general debate on the budget resolution. No 
budget-related votes are expected on Tuesday.
  On Wednesday, March 28, and the balance of the week, the House will 
consider the following measures subject to the rules: The budget 
resolution for the fiscal year 2002; H.R. 6, the Marriage Tax 
Elimination Act of 2001.
  Mr. Speaker, obviously next week will be a busy and productive week 
on the floor. In expectation of that busy week, I wish all of my 
colleagues a restful weekend and time at home with their family and 
their constituents.
  Ms. SLAUGHTER. Mr. Speaker, if I may inquire of the gentleman, the 
tax bill is expected to be on the floor on Tuesday?
  Mr. ARMEY. Mr. Speaker, if the gentlewoman will yield, the tax bill 
is expected on the floor on Thursday.
  Ms. SLAUGHTER. On Thursday?
  Mr. ARMEY. Right.
  Ms. SLAUGHTER. Should Members expect to be here voting on Friday?
  Mr. ARMEY. Mr. Speaker, we cannot say for certain now. This is a busy 
week with a lot of work, and as we get a measure of the week's 
progress, we will try to inform Members as early as possible about 
Friday; but for now we have no plans other than we will be working on 
Thursday and Friday.
  Ms. SLAUGHTER. Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentleman.
