ELECTION OF MEMBERS TO CERTAIN JOINT COMMITTEES OF THE HOUSE AND SENATE

  Mr. NEY. Madam Speaker, I ask unanimous consent that the Committee on 
House Administration be discharged from further consideration of the 
resolution (H. Res. 134) electing Members to serve on the Joint 
Committee on Printing and the Joint Committee of Congress on the 
Library, and ask for its immediate consideration in the House.
  The Clerk read the title of the resolution.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the 
gentleman from Ohio?
  Mr. LARSON of Connecticut. Madam Speaker, reserving the right to 
object, I yield to the gentleman from Ohio (Mr. Ney) to explain the 
purpose of the resolution.
  Mr. NEY. Madam Speaker, will the gentleman yield?
  Mr. LARSON of Connecticut. I yield to the gentleman from Ohio.
  Mr. NEY. Madam Speaker, I thank the ranking member, the gentleman 
from Connecticut (Mr. Larson). I rise here today to consider H. Res. 
134, a bill electing Members to serve on the Joint Committee on 
Printing and the Joint Committee of Congress on the Library.
  This resolution appoints the following members to the Joint Committee 
on Printing: the gentleman from California (Mr. Doolittle), the 
gentleman from Georgia (Mr. Linder), the gentleman from Connecticut 
(Mr. Larson) and the gentleman from Pennsylvania (Mr. Brady).
  In addition, the resolution appoints the following Members to the 
Joint Committee of Congress on the Library:

the gentleman from Michigan (Mr. Ehlers), the gentleman from 
Connecticut (Mr. Larson), and the gentlewoman from California (Ms. 
Millender-McDonald).
  These are very distinguished Members, and they will add quite a lot 
to the importance of this committee. Madam Speaker, I urge full support 
of the bill.
  Mr. LARSON of Connecticut. Madam Speaker, further reserving the right 
to object, I would just add that it is an honor and a privilege as a 
new member of the committee to be joined by the gentleman from 
Pennsylvania (Mr. Brady) on the Joint Committee on Printing and by the 
gentlewoman from California (Ms. Millender-McDonald) on the Joint 
Committee of Congress on the Library. Both have distinguished 
themselves in this Congress, and I look forward as a new member serving 
with them both and our distinguished chairman.
  Madam Speaker, I withdraw my reservation of objection.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the 
gentleman from Ohio?
  There was no objection.
  The Clerk read the resolution, as follows:
