MAKING IN ORDER ON AUGUST 3, 1999, OR ANY DAY THEREAFTER, CONSIDERATION 
      OF H.J. RES. 58, REGARDING JACKSON-VANIK WAIVER FOR VIETNAM

  Mr. DREIER. Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent that it be in order 
at any time on August 3, 1999, or any day thereafter, to consider in 
the House the joint resolution (H.J. Res. 58) disapproving the 
extension of the waiver authority contained in section 402(c) of the 
Trade Act of 1974 with respect to Vietnam; that the joint resolution be 
considered as read for amendment; that all points of order against the 
joint resolution and against its consideration be waived; that the 
joint resolution be debatable for 1 hour, equally divided and 
controlled by the chairman of the Committee on Ways and Means in 
opposition to the joint resolution and a Member in support of the joint 
resolution; that pursuant to sections 152 and 153 of the Trade Act of 
1974, the previous question be considered as ordered on the joint 
resolution to final passage without intervening motion; and that the 
provisions of section 152 and 153 of the Trade Act of 1974 shall not 
otherwise apply to any joint resolution disapproving the extension of 
the waiver authority contained in section 402(c) of the Trade Act of 
1974 with respect to Vietnam for the remainder of the first session of 
the 106th Congress.
  It is the intention of this unanimous consent request that the 1 hour 
of debate be yielded fairly between members of the majority and 
minority parties on both sides of this issue.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the 
gentleman from California?
  There was no objection.
