division of the question in the House or in the Committee of the Whole.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mr. Herger). Is there objection to the 
request of the gentleman from Arizona?
  Mr. HOYER. Reserving the right to object, Mr. Speaker, I want to 
simply say that we have tried to check with everybody on our side to 
make sure that those who had amendments were agreeable to this. We 
think that that is the case and, as a result, we will not object and 
hope this facilitates the handling of this bill tonight.
  Mr. Speaker, I withdraw my reservation of objection.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the 
gentleman from Arizona?
  There was no objection.
