                        PARLIAMENTARY INQUIRIES

  Mr. FLAKE. Madam Speaker, I have a parliamentary inquiry.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore (Ms. Baldwin). The gentleman will state his 
parliamentary inquiry.
  Mr. FLAKE. Many of us are confused about the last vote we took. We 
just need to see if we have it right.
  We had the vote to include TRICARE for life because it is not 
included in the Senate bill that we will vote on tomorrow. Is that 
correct?
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Members may consult the respective 
legislative texts.
  Mr. FLAKE. Madam Speaker, I have a further parliamentary inquiry.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman will state his parliamentary 
inquiry.
  Mr. FLAKE. Madam Speaker, it is our understanding that the Senate 
bill did not include coverage for TRICARE for life in the vote that we 
will take tomorrow. And so we are amending a bill that hasn't been 
passed yet. Is that correct?
  I apologize. I meant to say TRICARE, not TRICARE for life.
  It is our understanding here that the Senate bill that we will vote 
on tomorrow does not include coverage for TRICARE. Is that correct?
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Members may consult the relevant legislative 
text and come to their own conclusions.
  Mr. FLAKE. I thank the Chair.
