                         Parliamentary Inquiry

  Mr. GOODLATTE. Parliamentary inquiry, Mr. Speaker.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman will state it.
  Mr. GOODLATTE. Am I correct that this unanimous consent request would 
not impair the right of any Member to raise a point of order against 
authorizing language in the bill?
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. As the Chair understands the proposed order; 
points of order against amendments are not waived, and points of order 
against provisions of the bill left unprotected by House Resolution 710 
still could be made.
  Mr. GOODLATTE. With that understanding, Mr. Speaker, I withdraw my 
reservation of objection.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the 
gentleman from Illinois?
  There was no objection.
