  Proceedings Postponed:
  Cleaver amendment in the nature of a substitute (No. 1 printed in 
part B of H. Rept. 112-62) that seeks to make significant investments 
in education, job training, transportation and infrastructure, and 
advanced research and development programs that will accelerate our 
economic recovery. Would also protect the social safety net without 
cutting Social Security, Medicaid or Medicare. Would raise new revenue 
by making our tax system more fair. Would also close certain corporate 
tax loopholes and preferences, which will save trillions of dollars on 
the deficit over the next decade.                        
