  Mr. GUTIERREZ. Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent that the

  Her certificate of election has not arrived, but there is no contest 
and no question has been raised with regard to her election.
  The SPEAKER. Is there objection to the request of the gentleman from 
Illinois?
  There was no objection.
