 PERMISSION TO FILE CONFERENCE REPORT ON H.R. 4578, DEPARTMENT OF THE 
         INTERIOR AND RELATED AGENCIES APPROPRIATIONS ACT, 2001

  Mr. REGULA. Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent that the managers on 
the part of the House may have until midnight tonight, September 28, 
2000, to file a conference report on the bill (H.R. 4578) making 
appropriations for the Department of the Interior and related agencies 
for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2001, and for other purposes.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the 
gentleman from Ohio?
  Mr. OBEY. Mr. Speaker, reserving the right to object, I just want to 
make clear that it is understood that the bill will be filed only if we 
have reached final agreement on all four corners.
  Mr. REGULA. Mr. Speaker, will the gentleman yield?
  Mr. OBEY. I yield to the gentleman from Ohio.
  Mr. REGULA. That is absolutely right. It would have to be complete 
agreement on the part of the conferees.
  Mr. OBEY. Mr. Speaker, I withdraw my reservation of objection.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the 
gentleman from Ohio?
  There was no objection.
