                      REQUEST TO ADDRESS THE HOUSE

  Ms. KAPTUR. Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent to address the 
House.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. For 1 minute?
  Ms. KAPTUR. I hope for at least 3 minutes.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the 
gentlewoman from Ohio to address the House for 1 minute?
  Mr. SMITH of Oregon. Mr. Speaker, I reserve the right to object. I 
would like to ask the gentlewoman what subject she would like to 
discuss.
  Ms. KAPTUR. Mr. Speaker, if the gentleman will yield, I would like to 
ask the chairman a question or two.
  Mr. SMITH of Oregon. I suppose that that is in order, Mr. Speaker, 
but since the issue is no longer before us, there was an objection 
made, then we cannot go forward, so this issue is dead. So I object.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Objection is heard.
