amendment, 107, the Hyde/Lantos/Sweeney amendment and 108, the Tancredo

  Mr. HYDE. Mr. Chairman, I move that the Committee do now rise.
  The motion was agreed to.
  Accordingly, the Committee rose; and the Speaker pro tempore (Mr. 
Simpson) having assumed the chair, Mr. Gutknecht, Chairman pro tempore 
of the Committee of the Whole House on the State of the Union, reported 
that that Committee, having had under consideration the bill (H.R. 
1646) to authorize appropriations for the Department of State for 
fiscal years 2002 and 2003, and for other purposes, had come to no 
resolution thereon.
