     MAKING IN ORDER AT ANY TIME CONSIDERATION OF HOUSE CONCURRENT 
     RESOLUTION 145, CONDEMNING RECENT ORDER BY TALIBAN REGIME OF 
AFGHANISTAN TO REQUIRE HINDUS TO WEAR SYMBOLS IDENTIFYING THEM AS HINDU

  Mr. KIRK. Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent that it be in order at 
any time, without intervention of any point of order, to consider in 
the House Concurrent Resolution 145, condemning the recent order by the 
Taliban regime of Afghanistan to require Hindus in Afghanistan to wear 
symbols identifying them as Hindu; that the concurrent resolution be 
considered as read for amendment; that the concurrent resolution be 
debatable for 1 hour, equally divided and controlled by the chairman 
and ranking minority member of the Committee on International 
Relations; and that the previous question be considered as ordered on 
the concurrent resolution to final adoption without intervening motion.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the 
gentleman from Illinois?
  There was no objection.
