                         PARLIAMENTARY INQUIRY

  Mr. McGOVERN. Parliamentary inquiry, Mr. Speaker.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman will state his parliamentary 
inquiry.
  Mr. McGOVERN. Mr. Speaker, how do I get this cleared? Maybe I can 
yield to the gentleman from Oklahoma, who can maybe, in a gesture of 
bipartisanship, agree that it would be a strong statement for the House 
of Representatives to come together, Democrats and Republicans, and get 
behind the strong words of our Speaker of the House. Would that be 
appropriate?
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Chair has not been notified of clearance 
for the request by the gentleman.
  Mr. McGOVERN. Mr. Speaker, my question was: How do I get it cleared 
now that I am on the floor? Can I ask the Republicans if they would 
agree to it?
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The clearance comes from the leaderships and 
the committees.
