                    DEFENSE APPROPRIATIONS ACT, 1996

  Mr. YOUNG of Florida. Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent that 
during consideration of H.R. 2126, the Defense Appropriations Act of 
1996, pursuant to the provisions of House Resolution 205, the Chairman 
of the Committee of the Whole may postpone until a time during further 
consideration in the Committee of the Whole a request for a recorded 
vote on any amendment, and that the Chairman of the Committee of the 
Whole may reduce to not less than 5 minutes the time for voting by 
electronic vote on any postponed question that immediately follows 
another vote by electronic device without intervening business, 
provided that the time for voting by electronic device on the first in 
any series of questions shall not be less than 15 minutes.

                              {time}  2130

  Mr. Speaker, in explanation of that unanimous-consent request, I 
would like the Members to be advised that this evening we will conduct 
general debate on this bill and debate amendments in title I and title 
II. We will also consider the C-17 amendment in title III, and after 
conclusion of the C-17 amendment, then the Committee will rise.
  We have no expectation of any further recorded votes this evening.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the 
gentleman from Florida?
  There was no objection.
