      REGARDING CONSENT TO ASSEMBLE OUTSIDE THE SEAT OF GOVERNMENT

  Ms. SLAUGHTER. Madam Speaker, I offer a privileged concurrent 
resolution and ask for its immediate consideration.
  The Clerk read the concurrent resolution, as follows:

                             H. Con. Res. 1

       Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate 
     concurring), That pursuant to clause 4, section 5, article I 
     of the Constitution, during the One Hundred Eleventh Congress 
     the Speaker of the House and the Majority Leader of the 
     Senate or their respective designees, acting jointly after 
     consultation with the Minority Leader of the House and the 
     Minority Leader of the Senate, may notify the Members of the 
     House and the Senate, respectively, to assemble at a place 
     outside the District of Columbia if, in their opinion, the 
     public interest shall warrant it.

  The concurrent resolution was agreed to.
  A motion to reconsider was laid on the table.
