REQUEST FOR LIMITATION OF TIME FOR FURTHER CONSIDERATION OF H.R. 2126, 
             DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE APPROPRIATIONS ACT, 1996

  Mr. MURTHA. Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent on the defense bill 
today that we have a limitation of 5 hours on the bill and all 
amendments thereto.
  The SPEAKER. Is there objection to the request of the gentleman from 
Pennsylvania?
  Mr. SANDERS. Yes, Mr. Speaker, I object. We are talking about $244 
billion. I think we need more debate than 5 hours.
  Mr. MURTHA. How about 6 hours?
  The SPEAKER. Objection is heard.
  Mr. SANDERS. I think it is something that should be discussed perhaps 
in a little while when people get together. I do not have an objection 
to a time limit. But I cannot agree to a certain time limit now.
  The SPEAKER. The Chair seeks to accommodate Members, and this has 
been an interesting colloquy. The Chair thinks if the gentlemen can get 
together, the Chair will be glad to recognize someone at an appropriate 
moment.
