                        PARLIAMENTARY INQUIRIES

  Mr. VOLKMER. Mr. Speaker, I have a parliamentary inquiry.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman will state his parliamentary 
inquiry.
  Mr. VOLKMER. Could the Chair advise the Members approximately how 
much time is still left on the bill, H.R. 7?
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Three hours and fifty minutes.
  Mr. VOLKMER. Three hours and fifty minutes.
  We are starting tomorrow morning at 9 o'clock?
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Missouri is correct.
  Mr. VOLKMER. It is just so the Members may be alerted because there 
is a little uproar.
  Mr. Speaker, I have another parliamentary inquiry.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman will state his parliamentary 
inquiry.
  Mr. VOLKMER. At the end of the bill, when the bill is finally 
concluded and reported back to the House, is it possible that we can 
have a revote, 15 minutes each on each amendment that has been adopted 
in the House?
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Missouri is partially 
correct. It is a 15-minute vote for the first amendment, and then, at 
the discretion of the Chair, 5 minutes for each additional amendment 
for which a revote is requested.
  Mr. VOLKMER. Can any Member make that request?
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Any Member can make the request, but the 
House must order the recorded vote by having a sufficient number of 
Members stand to order that vote.
