                          LEGISLATIVE PROGRAM

  (Mr. HOYER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. HOYER. Ladies and gentlemen of the House, as for the schedule for 
the balance of the day, I have had discussions with the minority. Mr. 
Arcuri will be offering the rule on the energy extender bill. We will 
not vote on the rule tonight. There will be no further votes tonight. 
After discussion with the Republican side of the aisle, we have agreed, 
and we will do a unanimous consent, but we will be coming in at 8 a.m. 
tomorrow.
  The reason for coming in at 8 a.m. tomorrow, as I think all of you 
know, is that the Jewish holidays start at sundown tomorrow night. To 
accommodate, therefore, our Members getting to their homes to be with 
their families, it is necessary for us to complete our business by, 
hopefully, no later than 12:30. Therefore, we will be coming in an hour 
early. We haven't discussed this, but hopefully, perhaps, we could 
dispense with 1-minutes as well so we can get right to the business at 
hand if that's possible. We will try to get all Members out of here by 
12:30 so that we can observe the holidays for our Jewish colleagues.
  I yield back the balance of my time.
