                       GRANTING OF SPECIAL ORDER

  Mr. LINDER. 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 Georgia?
  Mr. VOLKMER. Mr. Speaker, reserving the right to object, I just 
wondered if there are others that are waiting to be heard here on the 
floor. And those of us who are not on the list anymore, I lost my turn, 
I am willing to wait until all the rest of them are finished.
  Mr. LINDER. Mr. Speaker, will the gentleman yield?
  Mr. VOLKMER. I yield to the gentleman from Georgia.
  Mr. LINDER. Mr. Speaker, what we are trying to do, under unanimous 
consent, is to agree to have alternating speakers, is all.
  Mr. VOLKMER. Mr. Speaker, the gentleman is just filling in for the 
gentleman from Maine [Mr. Longley].
  Mr. Speaker, I withdraw by reservation of objection.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the 
gentleman from Georgia?
  There was no objection.
