ANNOUNCEMENT BY COMMITTEE ON RULES REGARDING H.R. 6, ENERGY POLICY ACT 
                                OF 2005

  Mr. DREIER. Mr. Speaker, I know that our colleagues, the gentleman 
from Maryland (Mr. Hoyer) and the gentleman from Texas (Mr. DeLay), 
will be engaged in a colloquy in just a moment; and the announcement 
that I have will, I believe, relate to the colloquy that they are about 
to engage in.
  Mr. Speaker, the Committee on Rules may meet next week to grant a 
rule which could limit the amendment process for floor consideration of 
the Energy Policy Act of 2005, which is expected to be introduced 
Monday, April 18, as H.R. 6. Any Member wishing to offer an amendment 
should submit 55 copies of the amendment, one written copy of a brief 
explanation of the amendment, and one electronic copy of the same to 
the Committee on Rules up in H-312 of the Capitol by 12 noon on 
Tuesday, April 19, 2005.
  Members are advised that the combined text from the committees of 
jurisdiction should be available for their review on the committees' 
Web sites as well as on the Committee on Rules Web site by tomorrow, 
Friday, April 15. Members should use the Office of Legislative Counsel 
to ensure that their amendments are drafted in the most appropriate 
format. Members are also advised to talk with the Office of the 
Parliamentarian to be certain that their amendments comply with the 
rules of the House.
  Mr. Speaker, I would like to say, Go Nationals.
