                         PARLIAMENTARY INQUIRY

  Mr. LEVIN. Mr. Speaker, I have a parliamentary inquiry.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman will state his parliamentary 
inquiry.
  Mr. LEVIN. Mr. Speaker, I heard what the Speaker had to say, but I 
think I can indicate that the minority would be very pleased to bring 
this up and, therefore, I think what the Speaker's ruling is indicating 
is that the majority does not wish to proceed. I believe I can speak 
clearly, and maybe I should leave it to the gentleman from Maryland 
(Mr. Hoyer), to say that the minority desires that this matter be 
brought up at this time, and I would, therefore, yield as part of my 
inquiry to Mr. Hoyer.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman may not yield to another 
Member on a parliamentary inquiry. The gentleman's statement, of 
course, will appear in the record.
