                          LEGISLATIVE PROGRAM

  (Mr. HOYER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. HOYER. Mr. Speaker, for the purposes of informing us of next 
week's schedule, I am pleased to yield to the gentleman from Texas (Mr. 
Armey), the distinguished majority leader.
  Mr. ARMEY. Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to announce that the House has 
completed its legislative business for the week.
  The House will next meet for legislative business on Tuesday, May 1, 
at 12:30 p.m. for morning hour and 2 p.m. for legislative business. The 
House will consider a number of measures under suspension of the rules, 
a list of which will be distributed to Member's offices tomorrow. On 
Tuesday, no recorded votes are expected before 6 p.m.
  On Wednesday, May 2, and Thursday, May 3, the House will consider the 
following measures, subject to rules: H.R. 10, the Comprehensive 
Retirement Security and Pension Reform Act; and H.R. 1088, the Investor 
and Capital Markets Fee Relief Act.
  Mr. Speaker, this week the House and the Senate appointed conferees 
for the Budget Resolution. Members should be advised that the Budget 
Resolution Conference Report may become available for consideration in 
the House at some point next week.
  Mr. HOYER. Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentleman for giving us that 
information. I understand that the gentleman said that we are going to 
conference on the budget. We are not sure when it is coming back.
  Mr. Speaker, does the gentleman have any guess as to whether, if it 
comes back, it will come back Wednesday or Thursday?
  Mr. ARMEY. Mr. Speaker, if the gentleman would continue to yield, 
obviously we intend to do the Comprehensive Retirement Security Act on 
Wednesday. That is fairly well scheduled. What we would want the House 
to do is act on that conference report any day, and I think one would 
realistically have to expect it may be Thursday before it comes back. 
Members will be concerned about their travel arrangements; and as has 
been our convention, Thursday is a day we return to our districts for 
work. And Thursday we will be out no later than 6 p.m. that evening.
  Mr. HOYER. Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentleman from Texas (Mr. Armey), 
the majority leader, for that information.
