           REQUEST FOR PERMISSION FOR 5-MINUTE SPECIAL ORDER

  Mr. SMITH of Michigan. Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent to 
address the House for 5 minutes.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the 
gentleman from Michigan?
  Mr. OWENS. Mr. Speaker, reserving the right to object, is there a 
list of Members for 5-minutes?
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. There is.
  Mr. OWENS. There is a list? Can we follow the list?
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Chair is endeavoring to go across the 
aisle, and the gentleman is on the list.
  Mr. OWENS. Can we follow the list?
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. We are following the list, but they are 
asking for unanimous consent. Is the gentleman objecting?
  Mr. OWENS. Well, I thought the practice was to follow the list, and 
then after the list is finished to entertain unanimous-consent 
requests.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Chair is just trying to recognize 
Members seeking unanimous consent to address the House by alternating 
recognition from side to side where Members are absent.
  Mr. OWENS. Mr. Speaker, I object.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Objection is heard.
