  LIMITATION ON AMENDMENTS DURING FURTHER CONSIDERATION OF H.R. 2311, 
         ENERGY AND WATER DEVELOPMENT APPROPRIATIONS ACT, 2002

  Mr. CALLAHAN. Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent that, during 
further consideration of H.R. 2311 in the Committee of the Whole 
pursuant to the House Resolution 180, no further amendment to the bill 
shall be in order except:
  (1) the following amendments, each of which shall be debatable for 20 
minutes: Mr. Traficant of Ohio, regarding drilling; Mrs. Berkley of 
Nevada, regarding nuclear waste.
  (2) the following amendments, which shall be debatable for 10 
minutes: Mr. Traficant of Ohio, regarding Buy American; Mrs. Johnson of 
Texas, regarding bio/environmental research; Mrs. Kelly of New York, 
regarding the Nuclear Regulatory Commission Inspector General salaries 
and expenses.
  (3) the following additional amendment, which shall be debatable for 
60 minutes: Mr. Davis of Florida, regarding the Gulf Stream natural gas 
pipeline.
  Each additional amendment may be offered only by the Member

 amendment; and shall not be subject to a demand for a division of the 
question in the House or in the Committee of the Whole.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the 
gentleman from Alabama?
  Mr. VISCLOSKY. Mr. Speaker, reserving the right to object, if I can 
make an inquiry to the gentleman.
  Mr. Speaker, my understanding is that the procedure tomorrow morning 
is that the House will go into session at 9 a.m., and we will 
immediately begin to vote on those matters that have been deferred, 
beginning with the Tancredo amendment, relative to the general 
investigations dealing with $9.9 million, that would be a 15-minute 
vote; the second Tancredo amendment would then be a 5-minute vote in 
sequence; the Hinchey amendment would be a 5-minute vote; the Kucinich 
amendment would be a 5-minute vote; and then there would be a 5-minute 
vote on the Bonior amendment? Those all would be taken together? There 
would be no break in time after the Kucinich amendment and the Bonior 
amendment?
  Mr. CALLAHAN. Mr. Speaker, will the gentleman yield?
  Mr. VISCLOSKY. I yield to the gentleman from Alabama.
  Mr. CALLAHAN. The gentleman from Indiana is correct.
  Mr. VISCLOSKY. Mr. Speaker, I withdraw my reservation of objection.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the 
gentleman from Alabama?
  There was no objection.
