                           ORDER OF BUSINESS

  (Mr. SOLOMON asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. SOLOMON. Mr. Speaker, as I understand it, the next item of 
business will be the rule on the defense authorization conference 
report. It is my intention to only use 2 or 3 minutes and then, when 
the manager on the Democrat side has done the same, we would then yield 
back our time and expedite this rule without a vote.
  Mr. FROST. Mr. Speaker, will the gentleman yield?
  Mr. SOLOMON. I yield to the gentleman from Texas.
  Mr. FROST. Mr. Speaker, I cannot assure the gentleman that it will 
only be 2 or 3 minutes. It will not be the full time. We do have a 
request by the gentleman from New Mexico for a colloquy. We also have a 
request by the ranking member on the Committee on Commerce for the 
opportunity to speak. But we will move along as quickly as we can.
  Mr. SOLOMON. Mr. Speaker, a minimum amount of time on both sides.
