 PERMISSION FOR SUNDRY COMMITTEES AND THEIR SUBCOMMITTEES TO SIT TODAY 
                        DURING THE 5-MINUTE RULE

  Mr. GOSS. Mr. Speaker, I, and I am sure all Members, would like to 
associate themselves with the very fine remarks made by the minority 
leader, the gentleman from Missouri [Mr. Gephardt].
  Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent that the following committees 
and their subcommittees be permitted to sit today while the House is 
meeting in the Committee of the Whole House under the 5-minute rule: 
The Committee on Banking and Financial Services, the Committee on 
Commerce, the Committee on Economic and Educational Opportunities, the 
Committee on Government Reform and Oversight, the Committee on the 
Judiciary, the Committee on Resources, the Committee on Science, the 
Committee on Small Business, the Committee on Transportation and 
Infrastructure, and the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence.
  It is my understanding, Mr. Speaker, that the minority has been 
consulted and there is no objection to these requests.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the 
gentleman from Florida?
  There was no objection.
