   1-19  by this Act take effect beginning with the election of the members

   1-22  delegation to the 103rd Congress.
   1-23        SECTION 3.  The importance of this legislation and the

    2-3  days in each house be suspended, and this rule is hereby suspended,
    2-4  and that this Act take effect and be in force from and after its
