ANNOUNCEMENT OF INTENTION TO OFFER MOTION TO INSTRUCT CONFEREES ON H.R. 
 4577, DEPARTMENTS OF LABOR, HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES, AND EDUCATION, 
             AND RELATED AGENCIES APPROPRIATIONS ACT, 2001

  Mr. PALLONE. Mr. Speaker, pursuant to clause 7(c) of House rule XXII, 
I hereby notify the House of my intention tomorrow to offer the 
following motion to instruct House conferees on H.R. 4577, a bill 
making appropriations for fiscal year 2001 for the Departments of 
Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education.
  The form of the motion is as follows:

       Mr. Pallone moves that the managers on the part of the 
     House at the conference on the disagreeing votes of the two 
     Houses on the Senate amendment to the bill H.R. 4577 be 
     instructed, in resolving the differences between the two 
     Houses on the funding level for program management in 
     carrying out titles XI, XVIII, XIX, and XXI of the Social 
     Security Act, to choose a level that reflects a requirement 
     on Medicare+Choice organizations to offer Medicare+Choice 
     plans under part C of such title XVIII for a minimum contract 
     period of three years, and to maintain the benefits specified 
     under the contract for the three years.

                          ____________________
