 CHILDREN'S HEALTH INSURANCE PROGRAM REAUTHORIZATION ACT OF 2007--VETO 
            MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The unfinished business is the further 
consideration of the veto message of the President on the bill (H.R. 
3963) to amend title XXI of the Social Security Act to extend and 
improve the Children's Health Insurance Program, and for other 
purposes.
  The Clerk read the title of the bill.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is, Will the House, on 
reconsideration, pass the bill, the objections of the President to the 
contrary notwithstanding?
  (For veto message, see proceedings of the House of December 12, 2007, 
at page H15382)
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Michigan (Mr. Dingell) is 
recognized for 1 hour.
  Mr. DINGELL. Madam Speaker, for purposes of debate only, I yield 30 
minutes to my good friend, the gentleman from Texas (Mr. Barton).
  Madam Speaker, I yield, also, 15 minutes of my time to the 
distinguished gentleman from New York, my good friend, Mr. Rangel, and 
ask unanimous consent that he be allowed to control that time.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the 
gentleman from Michigan?
  There was no objection.
