                         PARLIAMENTARY INQUIRY

  Mr. HOYER. Mr. Speaker, parliamentary inquiry.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Maryland will state his 
parliamentary inquiry.
  Mr. HOYER. Mr. Speaker, am I not correct that you called for the yeas 
and nays and that you interrupted the vote while it was in progress? 
From a parliamentary perspective, is that the power of the Speaker to 
interrupt a rollcall vote for the purposes of declaring that the vote 
has been postponed?
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Chair postponed debate under clause 8, 
rule XX. That was stated from the Chair.
