                          LEGISLATIVE PROGRAM

  (Mr. McHENRY asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. McHENRY. Mr. Speaker, based on the kindness of the majority 
leader allowing for new Members to be involved in this process, the 
majority party's governance of the House, I would seek to outline for 
fellow Members what the majority intends to do next week in terms of 
the agenda. Normally this is what the minority whip would ask at this 
point; however, I certainly see him leaving the floor.
  Mr. Speaker, the House will convene on Monday at 12:30 p.m. for 
morning hour debates. At 2 p.m. we will move to legislative business. 
We will consider several measures under suspension of the rules. A 
final list of those bills will be sent to Members' offices by the end 
of the day. Any votes called on these measures will be rolled until 
6:30 p.m.
  On Tuesday and the balance of the week, the House will consider 
several measures under the rule: The Foreign Operations Appropriations 
Act for Fiscal Year 2006; the Transportation, Treasury, Housing and 
Urban Development Appropriations Act for Fiscal Year 2006; and H.R. 
2864, the Water Resources Development Act of 2005.
  At this point, Mr. Speaker, I certainly want to thank the majority 
leader for his hard work on keeping our agenda on track here in the 
House. I certainly thank him for his leadership, and I want to thank 
the majority leader also for providing more opportunities for new 
Members of the House. Unfortunately, it seems that the minority whip 
did not see that as a good opportunity to broaden the base and allow 
others to have a role in this House.
