  Mr. ARMEY. Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent that when the House 
adjourns today it shall adjourn to meet at noon on Monday, August 6, 
and when the House adjourns on Monday, August 6, it shall adjourn to 
meet at noon on Tuesday, August 7; and when the House adjourns on

  The SPEAKER. Is there objection to the request of the gentleman from 
Texas?
  Mr. McDERMOTT. Mr. Speaker, reserving the right to object, I will ask 
the gentleman from Texas, the days the House will be in session, will 
they be pro forma sessions, no legislation will be brought up?
  Mr. ARMEY. Mr. Speaker, will the gentleman yield?
  Mr. McDERMOTT. I yield to the gentleman from Texas.
  Mr. ARMEY. Mr. Speaker, the gentleman has a good point; and, yes, it 
will be only pro forma.

Texas?
