  ANNOUNCEMENT BY COMMITTEE ON RULES REGARDING AMENDMENTS TO S. 878, 
        ADDITIONAL PERMANENT JUDGESHIP IN THE DISTRICT OF IDAHO

  Mr. DREIER. Mr. Speaker, the Committee on Rules may meet the week of 
October 4, as I was just saying, to grant a rule which could limit the 
amendment process for floor consideration of S. 878, a bill to create 
additional Federal court judgeships. The Committee on the Judiciary 
ordered the bill reported on September 9, 2004, and filed its report 
with the House on September 29, 2004.
  Any Member wishing to offer an amendment should submit 55 copies of 
the amendment and one copy of a brief explanation of the amendment to 
the Committee on Rules in room H-312 of the Capitol by 2 p.m. on 
Monday, October 4. Members should draft their amendments to the text of 
the bill as reported by the Committee on the Judiciary, which is 
available for their review on the Web sites of both the Committee on 
the Judiciary and the Committee on Rules.
  Members should use the Office of Legislative Counsel to ensure that 
their amendments are drafted in the most appropriate format. Members 
are also advised to check with the Office of the Parliamentarian to be 
sure their amendments comply with the rules of the House.
