                             POINT OF ORDER

  Mr. SMITH of Michigan. Mr. Speaker, point of order.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Michigan will state his 
point of order.
  Mr. SMITH of Michigan. Mr. Speaker, do I not have the right to ask 
unanimous consent for 1 minute prior to proceeding with the 5 minutes 
speeches?
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Chair has already begun recognition from 
the 5 minute list, and would advise the Member from Michigan at this 
point to seek unanimous consent to be recognized from the 5-minute 
Members list and the Chair will be happy to recognize the gentleman. 
This is purely a matter of recognition, not a point of order.
  Mr. SMITH of Michigan. But, Mr. Speaker, I only want 1 minute.
