Mr. Packard, in reviewing the conference report language, it appears that the intent of the subcommittee is to prohibit all moves by Members of their offices. As my colleague knows, as part of the transition we are attempting to consolidate Member offices, consolidate split suites where there are two rooms and one room that is located elsewhere. We want to make sure that the bipartisan building commission, as part of the transition, still has the ability to consolidate suites, and I want to make sure that even though there is a prohibition, that that prohibition is more if a Member's term is limited for one reason or another by death or resignation and not for the incidental consolidation Members' suites.
