                HOUR OF MEETING ON TUESDAY, MAY 8, 2001

  Mr. GOSS. Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent that when the House 
adjourns on Monday May 7, 2001, it adjourn to meet at 12:30 p.m. on 
Tuesday, May 8, for morning hour debates.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the 
gentleman from Florida?
  Mr. FRANK. Mr. Speaker, reserving the right to object for a 
legitimate scheduling question here.
  Nothing about today has struck me as being remotely legitimate, 
except that it is the day in which incompetence came to the rescue of 
democracy. We will all remember that.
  I would like to ask the gentleman from Florida (Mr. Goss), we have 
had some concern here, does that mean that votes will still be at 6:00? 
There was some suggestion that votes might be earlier. Will we still 
have a 6:00 p.m. vote at the earliest on Tuesday?
  Mr. GOSS. Mr. Speaker, will the gentleman yield?
  Mr. FRANK. I yield to the gentleman from Florida.
  Mr. GOSS. Mr. Speaker, it is my understanding that the plan at this 
time is that votes are still scheduled not before 6:00, but that is 
subject to change.
  Mr. FRANK. I appreciate it. When we say not before 6:00, not like 
today, that will not mean, we hope, at 3:00 in the morning, but in fact 
6:00 p.m., and I appreciate that.
  I just also want to say to my friend, the gentleman from California 
(Mr. Dreier), who appears to be keeping track, that he should put me 
down as leaning against on the budget.
  Mr. DREIER. I thank the gentleman very much. I will put that on the 
whip count.
  Mr. FRANK. Mr. Speaker, I withdraw my reservation of objection.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the 
gentleman from Florida?
  There was no objection.
