  Mr. CALLAHAN. Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent that during the 
further consideration of H.R. 2606 in the Committee of the Whole, no 
amendments shall be in order except the following amendments, which may 
be offered only by the Member designated and shall be considered as 
read, shall not be subject to an amendment or to a demand for a 
division of the question in the House or in the Committee of the Whole, 
and shall be debatable for 10 minutes, except for the Burton amendment, 
which shall be debatable for 50 minutes, equally divided and controlled 
by the proponent and a Member opposed thereto:
  1, an amendment offered by the gentleman from Indiana (Mr. Burton)

  9, an amendment offered by the gentleman from Ohio (Mr. Kucinich) 
regarding OPIC;
  10, an amendment offered by the gentleman from Colorado (Mr. 
Tancredo) regarding Man in the Biosphere.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mr. LaHood). Is there objection to the 
request of the gentleman from Alabama?
  Ms. PELOSI. Mr. Speaker, reserving the right to object, under the 
reservation, may I make inquiry to the distinguished chairman about the 
nature of this resolution?
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Proceed.
  Ms. PELOSI. Mr. Speaker, I would ask the gentleman, is it my 
understanding that the amendments that we would be taking up after the 
Andrews amendment are limited to the amendments that are on this piece 
of paper?
  Mr. CALLAHAN. Mr. Speaker, will the gentlewoman yield?
  Ms. PELOSI. I yield to the gentleman from Alabama.
  Mr. CALLAHAN. That is correct, Mr. Speaker.
  Ms. PELOSI. Therefore, say, for example, if the gentleman from Ohio 
(Mr. Kucinich) had an amendment and he wanted that to be heard on 
Monday when we reconvene, he would have to be on this piece of paper, 
or can we make additional----
  Mr. CALLAHAN. On the Kucinich amendment, that is included as item No. 
9 in the resolution.
  Ms. PELOSI. I thank the gentleman. I just wanted to make sure that 
the gentleman from Ohio (Mr. Kucinich) did not have an additional 
amendment.
  I withdraw my reservation of objection, Mr. Speaker.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the 
gentleman from Alabama?
  There was no objection.
