   NOTICE OF INTENTION TO OFFER RESOLUTION RAISING A QUESTION OF THE 
                        PRIVILEGES OF THE HOUSE

  Mr. GRAYSON. Mr. Speaker, I rise to give notice of a question of the 
privileges of the House pursuant to rule IX.
  The form of my resolution is as follows:

       Resolved, That the House of Representatives shall not 
     consider H.R. 3, the ``Northern Route Approval Act'' because: 
     (1) it violates Rule XXI of the House, and (2) it affects the 
     dignity and integrity of the proceedings of the House since 
     it is unconstitutional.

  The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mr. Rice of South Carolina). 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 unnumbered resolution 
noticed by the gentleman from Florida 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.

                          ____________________
