                            PETITIONS, ETC.

  Under clause 3 of rule XII,

       36. The SPEAKER presented a petition of Mr. Gregory D. 
     Watson, a citizen of Austin, TX, relative to urging Congress 
     to propose, for ratification by special conventions held 
     within the individual states, an amendment to the United 
     States Constitution which would clarify that a declaration of 
     martial law, or a suspension of the writ of habeas corpus, 
     does not prevent presidential and congressional elections 
     from proceeding as scheduled and does not perpetuate a term-
     limited or defeated presidential or congressional incumbent 
     in office beyond the expiration of the term to which that 
     incumbent was last elected; which was referred to the 
     Committee on the Judiciary.
