Whole; and that except as otherwise specified in this order, each 
printed amendment shall be debatable for 10 minutes, and all specified 
periods of debate shall be equally divided and controlled by the 
proponent and an opponent.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the 
gentleman from Kentucky?
  Mr. DICKS. Reserving the right to object, I just want to also join 
the chairman in congratulating the staff. This is the hardest-working 
staff I have ever seen in my career. The effort that is put in on a 
bipartisan basis, this is the cohesive and professional staff that I 
have seen, and I have been up here on the Hill for over 40 years. I 
just want to say that Jennifer Miller and David Pomerantz worked very 
hard to put this agreement together. We asked for some additional time. 
Our Members wanted a chance to express themselves on some of these very 
important and sensitive issues that are in this legislation.
  But it is my judgement that we should not object; we should accept 
this agreement and proceed forward and finish this legislation.
  I withdraw my reservation.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the 
gentleman from Kentucky?
