                         PARLIAMENTARY INQUIRY

  Mr. SCARBOROUGH. Mr. Speaker, I have a parliamentary inquiry.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mr. Gutknecht). The gentleman will state his 
parliamentary inquiry.
  Mr. SCARBOROUGH. Mr. Speaker, I understand that earlier this evening 
this House voice voted an agreement to acquiesce to funding for the 
NEA, to the Senate's position on NEA.
  Is there any method that Members that do not want to acquiesce to the 
Senate's funding levels of NEA could bring up another vote to have a 
recorded vote before this House?
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Chair would inform the gentleman from 
Florida that the motion to reconsider was laid upon the table.
  There may be other options available to the gentleman from Florida at 
some later point, but the motion to reconsider was laid upon the table.
  Mr. SCARBOROUGH. Mr. Speaker, parliamentary inquiry.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman will state his parliamentary 
inquiry.
  Mr. SCARBOROUGH. Mr. Speaker, I understand also that there was a 
voice vote designating the Ronald H. Brown Federal Building earlier 
this evening, also by voice vote.
  Is there a possibility that Members that want a recorded vote on the 
Ronald H. Brown Federal Building also would have the opportunity to 
vote on that issue?
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Again, the Chair would state to the 
gentleman from Florida the motion to reconsider was laid upon the 
table.
