Mr. Speaker. as my colleague has described. this rule waives all points of order against the conference report to accompany H.R. 1141. which is the Emergency Supplemental Appropriation Act for fiscal year 1999. The measure appropriates $15 billion for military operations in Kosovo and other defense spending. humanitarian assistance to refugees and misplaced persons in the Balkans. hurricanerelated relief in Central America and the Caribbean. aid to the country of Jordan. assistance to U.S. farmers hurt by low commodity prices. tornado victims in Oklahoma. Kansas. and for other purposes. Most of the spending is considered emergency. and therefore is not offset by spending cuts in other programs.
