123 CONG.REC. H5161
May 26, 1977

 {H5161} Mr. UDALL.  Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent that the Speaker
be authorized to appoint three additional managers on the part of the House at
the conference on the bill H.R. 2, the Surface Mining Control Act.

     H5161  The SPEAKER.  Is there objection to the request of the gentleman
from Arizona?

     H5161  Mr. RHODES.  Mr. Speaker, reserving the right to object, would the
gentleman explain why this request is made?

     H5161  Mr. UDALL.  Mr. Speaker, if the gentleman will yield, after the
conferees were appointed, I conferred with the gentleman from Kansas, the
ranking minority member.  The gentleman from Michigan (Mr. RUPPE) had been
involved in this for a long time and had been deeply interested in this bill,
and we are enlarging the conference from 7 to 10 largely to accommodate the
gentleman from Michigan (Mr. RUPPE) and to appoint two additional majority
members.

     H5161  Mr. RHODES.  Mr. Speaker, I withdraw my reservation of objection.

     H5161  The SPEAKER.  Is there objection to the request of the gentleman
from Arizona?  The Chair hears none and appoints the following additional
conferees: Messrs. TSONGAS, RAHALL, and RUPPE.
