 THE TIME ALLOCATION ON YESTERDAY'S MOTION TO ALLOW COMMITTEES TO SIT 
                          DURING 5-MINUTE RULE

  (Mr. CRAPO asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. CRAPO. Mr. Speaker, I think it is important that the record be 
set straight. Twice today we have heard it alleged that yesterday the 
Republicans took 57 minutes and gave the Democrats 3 in debate. The 
fact is that the debate took 8 minutes. The Republicans happened to use 
5 minutes, and the Democrats used 3 minutes.
  Now, when we counted them up afterwards, it was not exactly balanced, 
and maybe it should have been. It certainly was not 57 to 3, and those 
kinds of facts need to be set straight.
