PERMISSION FOR CERTAIN COMMITTEES AND SUBCOMMITTEES TO SIT ON TOMORROW 
                        DURING THE 5-MINUTE RULE

  Mr. HORN. Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent that the following 
committees and their subcommittees be permitted to sit tomorrow while 
the House is meeting in the Committee of the Whole House under the 5-
minute rule; Agriculture; Commerce; Economic and Educational 
Opportunities; Government Reform and Oversight; House Oversight; 
International Relations; Judiciary; National Security; Resources; 
Science; and Transportation and Infrastructure.
  It is my understanding that the minority has been consulted and that 
there is no objection to these requests.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the 
gentleman from California?
  Mr. WATT of North Carolina. Mr. Speaker, reserving the right to 
object, I have consulted with the minority leadership, and they have 
advised me that notwithstanding the fact that this is contrary to the 
rule which prohibits voting in committee without being there, and 
contrary to the House rules, we are in agreement to it.
  Mr. Speaker, I withdraw my reservation of objection.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the 
gentleman from California?
  There was no objection.
