  The SPEAKER. Is there objection to the request of the gentleman from

  Mr. HOYER. Reserving the right to object, Mr. Speaker, and I do not 
intend to object, this agreement is intending, as I understand it, to 
give all the amendments that we know about the opportunity to be 
offered.
  In addition, it gives us an opportunity to further discuss the points 
raised by the gentlewoman from Connecticut [Mrs. Johnson] in my 
amendment, and will then provide for the consideration of the balance 
of the bill?
  Mr. LIGHTFOOT. If the gentleman will yield, that is correct.
  Mr. HOYER. Mr. Speaker, I withdraw my reservation of objection.
  The SPEAKER. Without objection, the unanimous consent request offered 
by the gentleman from Iowa [Mr. Lightfoot] is agreed to.
  There was no objection.
