                          LEGISLATIVE PROGRAM

  (Mr. HOYER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. HOYER. Mr. Speaker, I yield to my friend, the majority leader, 
Mr. Cantor, for purposes of inquiring of the schedule of the week to 
come.
  Mr. CANTOR. I thank the gentleman from Maryland, the Democratic whip, 
for yielding.
  Mr. Speaker, on Wednesday, the House will meet at noon for morning-
hour and 2 p.m. for legislative business. Votes will be postponed until 
6:30 p.m. On Thursday, the House will meet at 10 a.m. for morning-hour 
and noon for legislative business. On Friday, the House will meet at 9 
a.m. for legislative business.
  Mr. Speaker, the House will remain in session next week and 
potentially into the weekend until completion of the continuing 
resolution. Convening times for a weekend session will be announced 
later next week.
  Mr. Speaker, the House will consider a few bills under suspension of 
the rules, a complete list of which will be announced by the close of 
business today. In addition, the House will consider H.R. 687, the 
Southeast Arizona Land Exchange and Conservation Act of 2013, authored 
by Representative Paul Gosar.
  The bipartisan bill will have an economic impact of $60 billion and 
is expected to create 4,000 jobs for the working middle class.
  Madam Speaker, I also expect the House to consider and pass a 1-year 
debt limit increase. This increase will also contain a number of 
important pro-growth economic policies, health care and non-health care 
reforms, in addition to a 1-year delay of ObamaCare.
  Finally, we will continue to work through the serious issues of 
funding the government. As I stated earlier, the House will not adjourn 
until the continuing resolution is completed.
  Mr. HOYER. Madam Speaker, I thank the majority leader for the 
schedule, and I sincerely hope that we can reach compromise next week.
  I yield back the balance of my time.
