   PERMISSION FOR PERMANENT SELECT COMMITTEE ON INTELLIGENCE TO FILE 
  REPORT ON H.R. 4628, INTELLIGENCE AUTHORIZATION ACT FOR FISCAL YEAR 
                                  2003

  Mr. GOSS. Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent that the Permanent 
Select Committee on Intelligence may have until midnight tonight, July, 
18, 2002, to file a report on the bill, H.R. 4628, to authorize 
appropriations for fiscal year 2003 for intelligence and intelligence-
related activities of the United States Government, community 
management account, the Central Intelligence Agency retirement and 
disability system, and for other purposes.
  It is my expectation, Mr. Speaker, that the committee will file H.R. 
4628 a little later today. Once the committee has filed the bill, I 
invite and encourage Members to come to H-405 in the Capitol to review 
the classified annex and allow committee staff to explain the 
provisions or answer any questions they may have about the bill.
  This opportunity is offered to any Member of the House. It does not 
include staff. Members will be asked to sign the customary 
nondisclosure agreement prior to access to any classified annex. That 
is the routine. It has worked well over the years.
  Members may call Mr. Bill McFarland of the Permanent Select Committee 
on Intelligence, the committee staff director of security, if they 
would like to review this material.
  Ms. PELOSI. Mr. Speaker, will the gentleman yield?
  Mr. GOSS. I yield to the gentlewoman from California.
  Ms. PELOSI. Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentleman. I support the request 
for us to hear the bill, but could the gentleman tell the Members how 
long that privilege to go upstairs to room 405 to review the bill will 
last until.
  Mr. GOSS. Mr. Speaker, I believe the answer to that question is until 
we take up the rule, and that will probably be later next week. So it 
should be a couple of days next week.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the 
gentleman from Florida?
  There was no objection.
