(199-206)
Stenholm (D-TX) motion that the House conferees concur with the Senate amendment to impose certain restrictions on the activities of lawyers receiving money from the Legal Services Corporation (LSC).

(262-152)
Edwards (R-OK) motion to recommend to the House Foreign Affairs Committee the resolution to condemn Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega's action to suspend the cease-fire in that government's civil war with contra guerrillas and to call on both the government and the contras to abide by the cease-fire, with instructions to amend it with a substitute containing the text of the Senate resolution which denounces Ortega's announced suspension and affirms U.S. intentions to continue supplying non-military aid to the Freedom Fighters until Feb. 28, 1990.

(194-215)
