  POSTPONING VOTES DURING CONSIDERATION OF H.R. 1853, CARL D. PERKINS 
         VOCATIONAL-TECHNICAL EDUCATION ACT AMENDMENTS OF 1997

  Mr. GOODLING. Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent that during 
further consideration of H.R. 1853, pursuant to House Resolution 187, 
the Chairman of the Committee of the Whole may, first, postpone until a 
time during further consideration in the Committee of the Whole a 
request for a recorded vote on any amendment, and, second, reduce to 5 
minutes the minimum time for electronic voting on any postponed 
question that follows another electronic vote without intervening 
business, provided that the time for electronic voting on the first in 
any series of questions shall be 15 minutes.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the 
gentleman from Pennsylvania?
  Mr. CLAY. Reserving the right to object, Mr. Speaker, there is no 
agreement to rolling the vote on this side after five. Who did the 
gentleman from Pennsylvania negotiate that with?
  Mr. Speaker, I withdraw my reservation of objection.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the 
gentleman from Pennsylvania?
  There was no objection.
