ANNOUNCEMENT OF INTENTION TO OFFER MOTION TO INSTRUCT CONFEREES ON H.R. 
               1501, JUVENILE JUSTICE REFORM ACT OF 1999

  Ms. LOFGREN. Mr. Speaker, pursuant to clause 7c of rule XXII, I 
hereby announce my intention to offer a motion to instruct conferees on 
H.R. 1501 tomorrow.
  The form of the motion is as follows:

       Ms. Lofgren moves that the managers on the part of the 
     House at the conference of the disagreeing votes of the two 
     Houses on the Senate amendment to the bill, H.R. 1501, be 
     instructed to insist that the committee of conference should 
     have its first substantive meeting to offer amendments and 
     motions within the next 2 weeks.

  While I understand that House rules do not allow Members to co-author 
motions to instruct, I would like to say that the gentlewoman from New 
York (Mrs. McCarthy) supports this motion and intends to join me in 
speaking on its behalf tomorrow.

                          ____________________
