                ANNOUNCEMENT BY THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Chair would like to make a statement 
concerning the introduction and reference of bills.
  Since the rules of the 117th Congress have not yet been adopted, the 
rights of Members to introduce bills, and the authority of the Speaker 
to refer them, is delayed. The Chair will state that submitted bills 
will be held until adoption of the rules, at which time they will be 
referred as expeditiously as possible to the appropriate committee. At 
that time, the bills which are not referred and do not appear in the 
Record as of that day will be included in the next day's Record and 
printed with a date as of the time that the rules were adopted.

                          ____________________
