Mr. HOYER. Well, we're coming back Monday. There will be votes at 6:30. There'll be suspensions. On Monday the House will meet at 10:30 a.m. for morning-hour business and noon for legislative business. We'll consider several bills under suspension of the rule as is usual. Notice of those bills will be given by the end of the week.

On Tuesday, the House will meet at 9 a.m. for morning hour business, 10 a.m. for legislative business. We'll consider additional bills under suspension of the rules. A complete list, as I said, will be announced by the close of business tomorrow. On Wednesday and Thursday the House will meet at 10 a.m. We expect to consider H.R. 1100, the Carl Sandburg Home National Historic Site Boundary Provision, and H.R. 2316, Honest Leadership and Open Government Act, and the conference report on the supplemental appropriations to fund Iraq, Katrina, veterans health and other matters.

Mr. BLUNT. If the gentleman would further yield. Our Members, I think, in agreement with the gentleman's view on this, said we'd prefer to stay until this supplemental is done. And is that your inclination at this time?

Mr. HOYER. It is our intention to pass the supplemental before we break for the Memorial Day Break, yes.
