        AUTHORIZING THE SPEAKER TO ADMINISTER THE OATH OF OFFICE

  Ms. WASSERMAN SCHULTZ. Mr. Speaker, I offer a privileged resolution 
and ask for its immediate consideration.
  The Clerk read the resolution, as follows:

                               H. Res. 7

       Whereas, Alcee L. Hastings, a Representative-elect from the 
     Twentieth District of the State of Florida, has been unable 
     from illness to appear in person to be sworn as a Member of 
     the House, and there being no contest or question as to his 
     election: Now, therefore, be it
       Resolved, That the Speaker, or deputy named by her, is 
     hereby authorized to administer the oath of office to the 
     Honorable Alcee L. Hastings at Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and 
     that such oath be accepted and received by the House as the 
     oath of office of the Honorable Alcee L. Hastings.

  The resolution was agreed to.
  A motion to reconsider was laid on the table.
