PERMISSION TO OFFER AMENDMENT NO. 3 OUT OF ORDER AND LIMITING DEBATE ON 
 AMENDMENT NO. 3 DURING CONSIDERATION OF H.R. 5005, HOMELAND SECURITY 
                              ACT OF 2002

  Mr. ARMEY. Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent that during 
consideration in the Committee of the Whole of H.R. 5005 pursuant to 
House Resolution 502, the gentleman from California (Mr. Waxman), or 
his designee, be permitted to offer amendment numbered 3 in House 
Report 107-615 out of the specified order, to be offered at a time 
designated by the chairman of the Select

[[Page 14664]]

Committee on Homeland Security pursuant to section 4 of House 
Resolution 502 and that debate on such amendment be limited to 20 
minutes.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mr. Sweeney). Is there objection to the 
request of the gentleman from Texas?
  Ms. PELOSI. Mr. Speaker, reserving the right to object, I have a 
question for the leader. Mr. Leader, is it my understanding that the 
Waxman amendment, No. 94, which you just sought unanimous consent to 
roll until tomorrow with the debate and the vote, would be taken up as 
the first amendment tomorrow when we come into the House?
  Mr. ARMEY. That would be fine with this gentleman. I would think if 
the gentleman from California (Mr. Waxman) is ready, of course, to 
begin, we would naturally want to take our votes, I think, to kind of 
get everybody in the body get things going and then move forward with 
the Waxman amendment.
  Ms. PELOSI. I thank the distinguished leader.
  Mr. Speaker, I withdraw my reservation of objection.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the 
gentleman from Texas?
  There was no objection.
