                          LEGISLATIVE PROGRAM

  (Mr. McCARTHY of California asked and was given permission to address 
the House for 1 minute.)
  Mr. McCARTHY of California. Mr. Speaker, yesterday, I announced that 
we were delaying consideration of the continuing resolution so all 
Members could be briefed on the President's request for additional 
authorities related to ISIL as part of the continuing resolution.
  Members received a bipartisan classified briefing this morning. I 
know many are still digesting that information and getting their 
questions answered regarding this threat and our response.
  In order to properly consider the President's request and act on the 
continuing resolution, Members are advised that the House will now meet 
on Monday at 2 p.m. for legislative business with votes at 6:30 p.m. on 
suspensions.
  Members are advised that the House may consider legislation related 
to the President's request and the continuing resolution as early as 
Tuesday.
  These are changes from the previously announced House schedule.
  Mr. HOYER. I thank the gentleman for yielding.
  The gentleman and I have discussed this, and I believe he has taken 
the appropriate action in this instance, and we certainly support his 
determination.
  Mr. McCARTHY of California. I thank the gentleman for working 
together on this.
  The one thing we know, this is a threat, and this House will act as 
one as Americans, and I look forward to continuing to work on it.
