  LIMITATION ON AMENDMENTS DURING FURTHER CONSIDERATION OF H.R. 2590, 
        TREASURY AND GENERAL GOVERNMENT APPROPRIATIONS ACT, 2002

  Mr. ISTOOK. Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent that during 
consideration of H.R. 2950 in the Committee of the Whole pursuant to 
House Resolution 206 no further amendment to the bill may be offered 
except:
  Pro forma amendments offered by the chairman or ranking minority 
member of the Committee on Appropriations or their designees for the 
purpose of debate.
  The amendment numbered 8, which shall be debatable for 30 minutes.
  The amendment by Representative Filner of California that I have 
placed at the desk which shall be debatable for 40 minutes.
  Each such amendment may be offered only by the Member designated in 
this request, the Member who caused it to be printed, or a designee, 
shall be considered as read, shall be debatable for the time specified 
equally divided and controlled by the proponent and an opponent, and 
shall not be subject to amendment, except that the chairman and ranking 
minority member of the Committee on Appropriations, or a designee, each 
may offer one pro forma amendment for the purpose of further debate on 
any pending amendment.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Clerk will report the amendment.
  The Clerk read as follows:

       Amendment offered by Mr. Filner:
       At the end of the bill, insert after the last section 
     (preceding the short title) the following new section:
       Sec. __. None of the funds appropriated in this Act for the 
     Office of Management and Budget may be used for the purpose 
     of implementing the final report of the President's 
     Commission To Strengthen Social Security.

  Mr. ISTOOK (during the reading). Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent 
that the amendment be considered as read and printed in the Record.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the 
gentleman from Oklahoma?
  Mr. HOYER. Mr. Speaker, reserving the right to object, I think there 
was a unanimous agreement that the gentleman from Florida (Mr. 
Hastings) would go next. We have the chairman here who wants to 
participate and others, if that is okay. I think it is okay with the 
gentleman from California (Mr. Filner). We increased his time.
  Mr. ISTOOK. Any such unanimous consent is fine with me. I believe it 
is necessary before we return to Committee that we do this.
  Mr. HOYER. Mr. Speaker, I make a unanimous consent request that the 
order of the amendments be the gentleman from Florida (Mr. Hastings), 
then the gentleman from California (Mr. Filner).
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. We are still on the unanimous consent 
request of the gentleman from Oklahoma (Mr. Istook).
  The Clerk will continue to report the amendment.
  The Clerk continued to report the amendment.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the 
gentleman from Oklahoma?
  There was no objection.
