REQUEST FOR CONSIDERATION OF ADDITIONAL AMENDMENTS TO H.R. 7, NATIONAL 
                      SECURITY REVITALIZATION ACT

  Mr. GILMAN. Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent that during the 
further consideration of H.R. 7 in the Committee of the Whole: subject 
to the 10-hour overall consideration limit in the rule, the following 
amendments be considered in the following order, with these amendments 
and all amendments thereto debatable for the time specified, equally 
divided and controlled by the proponent and a Member opposed:
  Title III: Hefley No. 5 for 10 minutes:
  Harman amendment No. 1 or Menendez amendment No. 2 for 20 minutes;
  Title IV: Leach amendment No. 32 for 20 minutes;
  Title V: amendments No. 13, 21, 24, 30, or 33, or a germane 
modification of one of those amendments for 45 minutes;
  Johnson amendment No. 31 for 5 minutes;
  Title VI: Durbin amendment No. 22 or Gilman amendment No. 23 for 10 
minutes;
  Bateman amendment No. 8 for 5 minutes;
  amendment No. 20, 28, or 43 for 45 minutes.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the 
gentleman from New York?
  Mr. TRAFICANT. Mr. Chairman, reserving the right to object, I have an 
amendment that was not mentioned by the gentleman and I want to ensure 
that my amendment has the right to be offered.
  [[Page H1847]] Mr. GILMAN. Mr. Speaker, if the gentleman will yield, 
would he specify his amendment.
  Mr. TRAFICANT. It is to peacekeeping and it in fact deals with the 
ceiling that is placed in the language; the 25-percent ceiling in the 
Traficant amendment deals with that. I want an opportunity to have that 
be included in the amendments to be offered, with a time period 
reserved for that.
  Mr. GILMAN. How much time will the gentleman require?
  Mr. TRAFICANT. Whatever time the gentleman deems necessary would be 
fine with the gentleman from Ohio.
  Mr. GILMAN. We will grant the gentleman 5 minutes on his proposed 
amendment, at the end of all of the other consideration.
  Mr. TRAFICANT. Mr. Chairman, that is fine with this gentleman, and I 
withdraw my reservation of objection.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the 
gentleman from New York?
  Mr. SKELTON. Mr. Speaker, reserving the right to object, I also will 
not object, but I did not hear the amendment which we have discussed 
which I intend to offer on the list.
  Mr. GILMAN. Mr. Speaker, if the gentleman will yield, the order of 
amendments was cleared by the gentleman's leadership on his side of the 
aisle.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the 
gentleman from New York?
  Mr. ENGLE. Mr. Speaker, reserving the right to object, I am wondering 
if I could ask this of this chairman: I have an amendment which was 
brought up at the committee in chapter 4. I did not hear it read off. I 
wonder if, at the end of debate after all the other amendments have 
been read, there will be time for others to submit amendments.
  Mr. GILMAN. If the gentleman will yield, Mr. Speaker, in response to 
the gentleman's inquiry, again the order of amendments was cleared by 
the leadership on the gentleman's side of the aisle. I suggest the 
gentleman take that up with his leadership.
  Mr. ENGEL. Will there be time? With amendments that the gentleman 
mentioned, will there be time at the end of those amendments for other 
amendments to be submitted?
  Mr. GILMAN. The order of amendments that were read consumes all of 
the remaining time.
  As a further response to the gentleman, the remaining time is all 
consumed by the order of amendments. However, if there is any remaining 
time, we will be pleased to consider the gentleman's request tomorrow.
  Mr. ENGEL. Mr. Speaker, with all due respect, I object.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Objection is heard.
