                         PARLIAMENTARY INQUIRY

  Mr. HAYES. Mr. Speaker, I have a parliamentary inquiry.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mr. Simmons). The gentleman will state it.
  Mr. HAYES. Mr. Speaker, a few moments ago, the gentlewoman from 
California (Ms. Lofgren) called the President of the United States a 
liar. My question is, is it too late to ask that her words be taken 
down? This is inappropriate by our rules.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Chair has already ruled on that matter. 
At the time the Chair ruled that the gentlewoman was out of order.
  Mr. HAYES. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. It bothers me. I appreciate the 
ruling.
