 NOTICE OF INTENTION TO OFFER RESOLUTION ON QUESTION OF PRIVILEGES OF 
                               THE HOUSE

  Ms. SANCHEZ. Mr. Speaker, pursuant to rule IX, I hereby notify the 
House of my intention to offer a resolution as a question of the 
privileges of the House. The text of my resolution is identical to the 
resolution reported by the Ethics Committee and reads as follows.
  In the matter of James A. Traficant, Jr., resolved that pursuant to 
article 1, section 5, clause 2 of the United States Constitution, 
Representative James A. Traficant, Jr., be, and he hereby is, expelled 
from the House of Representatives.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mr. Simpson). Under rule IX, a resolution 
offered from the floor by a Member other than the majority leader or 
the minority leader as a question of the privileges of the House has 
immediate precedence only at a time designated by the Chair within 2 
legislative days after the resolution is properly noticed.
  Pending that designation, the form of the resolution noticed by the 
gentlewoman from California will appear in the Record at this point.
  The Chair will not, at this point, determine whether the resolution 
constitutes a question of privilege. That determination will be made at 
the time designated for consideration of the resolution.
