                  AUTHORIZATION ACT, FISCAL YEAR 2001

  (Mr. GOSS asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. GOSS. Madam Speaker, tonight a Dear Colleague letter will be sent 
to all Members informing them that the Committee on Rules may meet 
later this week to grant a rule for the consideration of H.R. 4392, the 
Intelligence Authorization Act, Fiscal Year 2001.
  The Committee on Rules may grant a rule which would require that 
amendments be preprinted in the Congressional Record. In this case, 
amendments must be preprinted prior to their consideration on the 
floor. Amendments should be drafted to the version of the bill reported 
by the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence.
  The language of the committee amendment is now available for Members 
on request to the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence. The 
committee report will be filed tomorrow, Tuesday, May 16. 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 their amendments comply with the 
rules of the House.
