  Mr. WOLF. Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent that during further 
consideration of H.R. 2500 in the Committee of the Whole, pursuant to 
House Resolution 192, no further amendment to the bill may be offered 
except
  1. Pro forma amendments offered by the chairman or ranking minority

purpose of debate; and amendments printed in the portion of the 
Congressional Record of the legislative day, July 17, 2001 or any 
Record before that date, designated for the purpose specified in clause 
8 of rule XVIII, which may be offered only by the Member who caused it 
to be printed or his designee; shall be considered as read; shall not 
be subject to amendment, except pro forma amendments for the purpose of 
debate; and shall not be subject to a demand for a division of the 
question in the House or the Committee of the Whole;
  And
  2. The Clerk shall be authorized to print in the portion of the 
Congressional Record of the legislative day July 17, 2001 designated 
for that purpose in clause 8 of rule XVIII all amendments to H.R. 2500 
that are at the desk and not already printed by the close of this 
legislative day.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the 
gentleman from Virginia?
  Mr. SERRANO. Mr. Speaker, reserving the right to object, I will not 
object, but I just want to clarify something from the chairman.
  It is clear to the gentleman from Wisconsin (Mr. Obey), the ranking 
member and I the content of the unanimous consent. However, I want to 
make clear that there is an understanding that whatever discussions 
will take place on limitation on times are in no way referred to in 
this unanimous consent.
  Mr. WOLF. Mr. Speaker, will the gentleman yield?
  Mr. SERRANO. I yield to the gentleman from Virginia.
  Mr. WOLF. Mr. Speaker, I would tell the gentleman, that is correct.
  Mr. SERRANO. That may or may not be a discussion later on in this 
process.
  Mr. WOLF. That is correct.
  Mr. SERRANO. Mr. Speaker, I withdraw my reservation of objection.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the 
gentleman from Virginia?
  There was no objection.
