                             General Leave

  Mr. CLINE. Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent that all Members may 
have 5 legislative days in which to revise and extend their remarks and 
include extraneous material on H.R. 3506.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the 
gentleman from Virginia?
  There was no objection.
  Mr. CLINE. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume.
  Mr. Speaker, H.R. 3506 makes technical corrections to statutory 
references to title 7, title 20, and title 43 of the United States 
Code.
  These titles are where laws relating to agriculture, education, and 
public lands are classified.
  This bill was submitted to the Judiciary Committee by the Office of 
Law Revision Counsel.
  Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. NADLER. Mr. Speaker, like the previous bill, H.R. 3506 makes a 
number of technical amendments to various provisions of the U.S. Code 
but makes no substantive changes.
  Mr. Speaker, I support the bill, and I reserve the balance of my 
time.
  Mr. CLINE. Mr. Speaker, I yield 3 minutes to the gentleman from 
California (Mr. Kiley).
  Mr. KILEY. Mr. Speaker, H.R. 3506 makes technical amendments to 
update statutory references to provisions in title 7, title 20, and 
title 43 of the United States Code. In the process of updating 
statutory references, there were some related technical errors found. 
The bill also makes amendments to correct those errors.
  These changes come at the request of the Office of Law Revision 
Counsel, which is a nonpartisan office in the House of Representatives 
that prepares and publishes the U.S. Code and performs the very 
important role of keeping the code up-to-date.
  Mr. NADLER. Mr. Speaker, I support this legislation, and I yield back 
the balance of my time.
  Mr. CLINE. Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues to support this bill, 
and I yield back the balance of my time.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the motion offered by the 
gentleman from Virginia (Mr. Cline) that the House suspend the rules 
and pass the bill, H.R. 3506.
  The question was taken; and (two-thirds being in the affirmative) the 
rules were suspended and the bill was passed.
  A motion to reconsider was laid on the table.
