  LIMITATION ON AMENDMENTS DURING FURTHER CONSIDERATION OF H.R. 5120, 
        TREASURY AND GENERAL GOVERNMENT APPROPRIATIONS ACT, 2003

  Mr. ISTOOK. Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent that during 
consideration of H.R. 5120 in the Committee of the Whole, pursuant to 
House Resolution 488, no further amendment to the bill may be offered 
except as follows:
  Pro forma amendments offered by the chairman or ranking minority 
member of the Committee on Appropriations or their designees for the 
purpose of debate;
  Amendments numbered 2, 8, 12, and 18, as printed in the Congressional 
Record, which shall be debatable for 5 minutes each;
  An amendment offered by the gentleman from Georgia (Mr. Barr) 
regarding a national media campaign, and an amendment offered by the 
gentleman from California (Mr. George Miller) regarding Federal 
Acquisition Regulation, which shall each be debatable for 20 minutes 
each;
  Amendment numbered 16, as printed in the Congressional Record, an 
amendment offered by the gentleman from Maryland (Mr. Hoyer) regarding 
High Sea Repairs, and the amendment offered by the gentleman from 
Colorado (Mr. Hefley) that I have placed at the desk, which shall be 
debatable for 10 minutes each;
  Amendment numbered 21 in the Congressional Record, which shall be 
debatable for 40 minutes;
  And an amendment offered by the gentleman from Vermont (Mr. Sanders) 
regarding taxation of pension plans, which shall be debatable for 30 
minutes.
  Each such amendment may be offered only by the Member designated in 
this unanimous consent request, or a designee, or 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, shall not be subject to amendment, and shall 
not be subject to a demand for a division of the question in the House 
or in the Committee of the Whole.
  Mr. KUCINICH. Mr. Speaker, reserving the right to object, if the 
gentleman would yield for a question.
  Mr. ISTOOK. Certainly.
  Mr. KUCINICH. Would the gentleman recount the title of amendment No. 
8.
  Mr. ISTOOK. If the gentleman will yield, amendment No. 8 is in a 
grouping with amendments numbered 2, 8, 12, and 18, as printed in the 
Congressional Record, which shall be debatable for 5 minutes each.
  Mr. HOYER. Mr. Speaker, will the gentleman yield?
  Mr. KUCINICH. Mr. Speaker, under my reservation of objection, I yield 
to the gentleman from Maryland.
  Mr. HOYER. Mr. Speaker, I do not intend to object, but I just want to 
make sure that the amendment of the gentlewoman from Texas (Ms. 
Jackson-Lee) is in there. We have talked about that; No. 12.
  Mr. ISTOOK. If the gentleman from Ohio will continue to yield.
  Mr. KUCINICH. I yield to the gentleman from Oklahoma.
  Mr. ISTOOK. Mr. Speaker, I am told it is. I am not sure of the 
number. Oh, No. 12. It is in there, yes.
  Mr. HOYER. I thank the gentleman.
  Mr. KUCINICH. Reclaiming my time under my reservation of objection, 
could the gentleman again give the title of amendment No. 18 at this 
point, then.
  Mr. ISTOOK. If the gentleman will once again yield, No. 18 is 
included in the request and is debatable for 5 minutes.
  Mr. KUCINICH. And which one is that?
  Mr. ISTOOK. I understand that that is the amendment that the 
gentleman from Ohio has filed.
  Mr. KUCINICH. Mr. Speaker, I withdraw my reservation of objection.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Clerk will report the amendment offered 
by the gentleman from Colorado (Mr. Hefley).
  The Clerk read as follows:

       Amendment Offered by Mr. Hefley:
       Page 103, after line 10, insert the following new section:
       Sec.   . The amount otherwise provided by this Act under 
     the heading ``Allowances and Office Staff for Former 
     Presidents'' is hereby reduced by $339,000.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the 
gentleman from Oklahoma?
  There was no objection.
