   ANNOUNCEMENT OF AMENDMENT PROCESS FOR CONSIDERATION OF H.R. 2559, 
                    AGRICULTURE RISK PROTECTION ACT

  (Mr. HASTINGS of Washington asked and was given permission to address 
the House for 1 minute.)
  Mr. HASTINGS of Washington. Mr. Speaker, this afternoon a ``dear 
colleague'' letter will be sent to all the Members informing them that 
the Committee on Rules is planning to meet the week of September 27 to 
grant a rule for the consideration of H.R. 2559, the Agriculture Risk 
Protection Act.
  The Committee on Rules may grant a rule which would require that 
amendments be pre-printed in the Congressional Record. In this case, 
amendments must be pre-printed prior to consideration of the bill on 
the floor. Members should use the Office of Legislative Counsel to 
ensure that their amendments are properly drafted and should check with 
the office of the parliamentarian to be certain that their amendments 
comply with the House rule.
