Mr. CANNON. Mr. Speaker, in order
to save the time of the House, I would
like to make a unanimous-consent re-
quest.. We have many items here which
are in technical. disagreement, and
which are mere formalities. So I ask
unanimous consent that the following
ameridlnents be considered en bloc, on
which motions will be offered to recede
arid concur: Amendments Nos. 2, 19, 20,
28, 29. 34, 37; 38, 39, 40, 41, 43, 48, 49, 50,

ference of opinion on them on either
side of the aisle.
