                         PARLIAMENTARY INQUIRY

  Mr. OBEY. Mr. Speaker, I have a parliamentary inquiry.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman will state it.
  Mr. OBEY. Before we move into the Committee of the Whole, I thought 
that an understanding was being reached about the sequence of an 
amendment. Is that not correct?
  Mr. YOUNG of Florida. If the gentleman will yield, it is our 
understanding based on our agreement of last week that we would take 
the Obey amendments as they appeared in the bill.
  Mr. OBEY. The problem is that one of the Members who would offer 
those amendments is called away to another meeting and so we wanted to 
ask unanimous consent before the House went into the Committee that 
that amendment be taken out of order simply so that she could leave.
  Mr. YOUNG of Florida. If the gentleman will yield further, is that 
one of the amendments that we had agreed to in the unanimous consent?
  Mr. OBEY. Yes.
  Mr. YOUNG of Florida. Mr. Speaker, I would find no objection to 
accommodating that Member. But I expect that the same agreement of the 
time limitation would still apply.
  Mr. OBEY. Yes, absolutely.
  Mr. YOUNG of Florida. I have no objection to that.
