                          LEGISLATIVE PROGRAM

  (Mr. HOYER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. HOYER. Mr. Speaker, I yield to my good friend, the gentleman from 
Ohio (Mr. Boehner), the distinguished majority leader, for purposes of 
telling us what the schedule for the coming week is.
  Mr. BOEHNER. I thank my colleague for yielding.
  Next week, Mr. Speaker, the House will convene on Tuesday at 12:30 
for morning hour and 2 p.m. for 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 week. Any 
votes called on these measures will be rolled until 6:30 p.m.
  On Wednesday and Thursday, the House will take up consideration of 
the emergency supplemental appropriations bill.
  Finally, we will consider H.R. 1606, the Online Freedom of Speech 
Act. The Committee on House Administration completed consideration of 
this bill this morning, and we expect that the Rules Committee will 
take this up next week to bring it to the floor.
  Mr. HOYER. I thank the gentleman. From what you have said, it is my 
presumption then that the Online Freedom of Speech Act will be the last 
order of business?

  Mr. BOEHNER. It will be considered, we believe, on Wednesday, 
possibly Thursday, but probably on Wednesday.
  Mr. HOYER. And the emergency supplemental appropriation, you say 
Wednesday or Thursday?
  Mr. BOEHNER. Wednesday, and possibly Thursday.
  Mr. HOYER. So would that mean that we might consider the Internet 
bill prior to the supplemental? I yield to my friend.
  Mr. BOEHNER. That is a possibility.
  Mr. HOYER. With respect, Mr. Leader, to the budget, I know there was 
some talk about doing it prior to our break, but you had indicated last 
week it might roll over. Do you have a guess?
  Mr. BOEHNER. It appears that my guess last week was correct.
  Mr. HOYER. Obviously. Can you tell us when you think the budget might 
come before the House? I yield to my friend.
  Mr. BOEHNER. I thank my colleague for yielding.
  I would hope that the House would complete its consideration of the 
budget in those 2 weeks that we are back after the March recess, 
sometime in that 2 weeks.
  Mr. HOYER. So in the latter part of March or third or fourth week in 
March?
  Mr. BOEHNER. And before April 8.
  Mr. HOYER. I thank the gentleman for the information that he has 
given to us.
