  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the 
gentleman from Kentucky?
  Mr. MOLLOHAN. Mr. Speaker, reserving the right to object, engaging 
the chairman for a further understanding with regard to the 
postponement of the census debate, the chairman and I have discussed 
this matter, and I would simply like to confirm that understanding, 
that the census debate will be had after we have votes on those 
amendments that we are going to roll until tomorrow from debates we 
have tonight?
  Mr. ROGERS. Mr. Speaker, will the gentleman yield?
  Mr. MOLLOHAN. I yield to the gentleman from Kentucky.
  Mr. ROGERS. Mr. Speaker, that would be my understanding, that we will 
continue proceeding this evening; that Members, after the four votes 
that have been called tonight, those four votes will take place 
immediately, after which there would be no further recorded votes for 
tonight, and we will proceed tonight with amendments and role those 
votes until tomorrow, in which case those votes would be taken tomorrow 
morning, and then proceed directly to the census amendment, if that is 
the gentleman's desire.
  Mr. MOLLOHAN. It is, Mr. Speaker.
  Mr. ROGERS. If the gentleman changes his mind between now and then 
and wants to do other amendments, that will be fine.
  Mr. DREIER. Mr. Speaker, will the gentleman yield?
  Mr. MOLLOHAN. I yield to the gentleman from California.
  Mr. DREIER. Mr. Speaker, I would just like to inquire of the chair of 
the subcommittee, it is my understanding there are five pending 
recorded votes.
  Mr. ROGERS. The gentleman is correct, there are five.
  Mr. MOLLOHAN. Mr. Speaker, I withdraw my reservation of objection.
  The CHAIRMAN. Is there objection to the request of the gentleman from 
Kentucky?
  There was no objection.
