          REQUEST TO BE GRANTED ADDITIONAL SPECIAL ORDER TIME

  Mr. CICILLINE. Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent that we have an 
additional hour to continue to speak about the urgency of gun violence 
prevention action. We have many Democratic colleagues who are here who 
are seeking time to implore the Speaker to come back.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Chair cannot entertain that request.


                         Parliamentary Inquiry

  Mr. CICILLINE. Point of parliamentary inquiry.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman will state his parliamentary 
inquiry.
  Mr. CICILLINE. Mr. Speaker, why is the Chair not capable of 
entertaining a request for unanimous consent to provide for additional 
time to address this urgent public health crisis?
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Speaker's announced policy on Special 
Order Speeches does not allow the Chair to entertain that request.
