ANNOUNCEMENT OF INTENTION TO OFFER MOTION TO INSTRUCT CONFEREES ON H.R. 
            4, SECURING AMERICA'S FUTURE ENERGY ACT OF 2001

  (Ms. ESHOO asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend her remarks and include therein 
extraneous material.)
  Ms. ESHOO. Mr. Speaker, pursuant to clause 7(c) of rule XXII, I 
hereby give notice of my intention to offer a motion to instruct 
conferees on H.R. 4. The form of the motion is as follows:

       Ms. Eshoo moves that the managers on the part of the House 
     at the conference on the disagreeing votes of the two Houses 
     on the Senate amendments to the bill H.R. 4 be instructed to 
     insist, to the extent possible within the scope of the 
     conference, that the conferees reject provisions that would 
     make discretionary the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's 
     duty to ensure that wholesale electricity rates are just and 
     reasonable and not unduly discriminatory or preferential.
