The Rules Committee is planning to meet the week of September 13 to grant a rule which may limit the amendment process on H.R. 1402, "Consolidating Milk Marketing Orders."

Any Member who wishes to offer an amendment should submit 55 copies and a brief explanation of the amendment to the Rules Committee in room H-312 of the Capitol by 3 p.m. on Tuesday, September 14. Amendments should be drafted to the text of the bill as reported by the Committee on Agriculture.

Members should use the Office of Legislative Counsel to ensure that their amendments are properly drafted and should check with the Office of the Parliamentarian to be certain their amendments comply with the rules of the House. If you have any questions, please contact myself or Gena Woolner at x 5-9191.
