  ANNOUNCEMENT OF INTENTION TO OFFER MOTIONS TO INSTRUCT CONFEREES ON 
                   H.R. 4, ENERGY POLICY ACT OF 2002

  Mr. WAXMAN. Mr. Speaker, pursuant to clause 7(c) of rule XXII, I 
hereby give notice of my intention to offer a motion to instruct 
conferees on H.R. 4. The form of the motion is as follows:

       Mr. Waxman moves that the managers on the part of the House 
     at the conference on the disagreeing votes of the two Houses 
     on the Senate amendments to the bill H.R. 4 be instructed to 
     insist, to the extent possible, within the scope of the 
     conference, that the conferees reject provisions that mandate 
     the use of ethanol in gasoline.

  Mr. Speaker, I further have another motion to instruct conferees. The 
form of that motion is as follows:

       Mr. Waxman moves that the managers on the part of the House 
     at the conference on the disagreeing votes of the two Houses 
     on the Senate amendments to the bill H.R. 4 be instructed to 
     insist, to the extent possible, within the scope of the 
     conference, that the conferees reject provisions that limit 
     the liability of a responsible party for the contamination of 
     groundwater with a fuel or fuel additive.
