                         PARLIAMENTARY INQUIRY

  Mr. SOLOMON. Mr. Speaker, is it true that there will not be another 
vote for about an hour on the floor, and that we are about to take up a 
rule which will consume about an hour?
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The House is about to take up a rule, on 
which an hour's time is allocated, so that would be a likely 
conclusion.
  Mr. SOLOMON. The reason I inquire, Mr. Speaker, is to get some order 
in the House so that Members can either leave the Chamber or take 
seats.
