 AUTHORIZING SPEAKER TO ENTERTAIN MOTION TO SUSPEND THE RULES ON H.R. 
                                  2869

  Mr. GILLMOR. Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent that the Speaker be 
authorized to entertain a motion to suspend the rules relating to H.R. 
2869, as amended.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the 
gentleman from Ohio?
  Mr. GEORGE MILLER of California. Mr. Speaker, reserving the right to 
object. I would also like to ask unanimous consent to add H.R. 3163 to 
the Suspension Calendar to provide student loan relief to surviving 
spouses of victims to the September 11 tragedies. I do not believe 
anybody would oppose this.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Under the additional request by the 
gentleman from California (Mr. George

Miller) and under the guidelines consistently issued by successive 
speaker, as recorded in section 956 of the House Rules Manual, the 
Chair is constrained not to entertain the gentleman's request until it 
has been cleared by the bipartisan floor and committee leadership.
  Is there objection to the original request of the gentleman from 
Ohio?
  There was no objection.
