REQUEST FOR VOTE ON AMENDMENT NO. 3 DURING FURTHER CONSIDERATION IN THE 
 COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE OF H.R. 800, EDUCATION FLEXIBILITY PARTNERSHIP 
                              ACT OF 1999

  Mr. CLAY. Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent that when the House 
resolves into the Committee of the Whole House for the further 
consideration of H.R. 800, that amendment No. 3, printed in the Record, 
be considered ordered for a vote.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the 
gentleman from Missouri?
  Mr. CASTLE. Mr. Speaker, reserving the right to object, I would ask 
the gentleman from Missouri (Mr. Clay) to please explain.
  Mr. CLAY. Mr. Speaker, will the gentleman yield?
  Mr. CASTLE. I yield to the gentleman from Missouri.
  Mr. CLAY. Mr. Speaker, the Members are being asked to vote on, 
without debate, amendment No. 3, which would authorize the hiring of 
100,000 new teachers to deal with the problems that exist in some of 
these communities and would be able to reduce class size for the lower 
grades, K through 3.
  I think it is a very important amendment, Mr. Speaker.
  Mr. GOODLING. I object, Mr. Speaker.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Objection is heard.
