                         PARLIAMENTARY INQUIRY

  Mr. VOLKMER. Parliamentary inquiry, Mr. Speaker.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mr. Shays). The gentleman will state his 
parliamentary inquiry.
  Mr. VOLKMER. Mr. Speaker, I did not say anything when the gentleman 
was in the well and just spoke, but as I said earlier, and I was asking 
about one of the previous speakers, the House rules do not permit the 
impugning of motives.

                              {time}  1210

  The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mr. Shays). Will the gentleman state his 
inquiry, please?
  Mr. VOLKMER. The inquiry is, Do the House rules forbid the impugning 
of motives of the Members of the House, either party, anybody?
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Chair would point out to the gentleman 
that personal motives are out of order. Political motives are not.
  Mr. VOLKMER. All right. Fine.
