 ANNOUNCEMENT BY CHAIRMAN OF COMMITTEE ON RULES REGARDING H. CON. RES. 
                 42, PEACEKEEPING OPERATIONS IN KOSOVO

  Mr. DREIER. Mr. Speaker, I rise to inform the House of the plan of 
the Committee on Rules with respect to House Concurrent Resolution 42 
regarding peacekeeping operations in Kosovo, which was introduced in 
the House today.
  I have also informed the House today of the plans of the Committee on 
Rules by a ``Dear Colleague'' letter.
  The Committee on Rules is expected to meet on Wednesday, March 10, to 
grant a rule for House Concurrent Resolution 42 which would require 
that amendments be preprinted in the Congressional Record. In this 
case, amendments to be preprinted would need to be signed by the Member 
and submitted to the Speaker's table. Amendments should be drafted to 
the resolution as introduced in the House.
  Mr. Speaker, 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 rules of the House.
  It is not necessary to submit amendments to the Committee on Rules or 
to testify as long as the amendments comply with House rules.

                          ____________________
