  Mr. GEORGE MILLER of California. Mr. Speaker, I offer a privileged 
motion.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Clerk will report the motion.
  The Clerk read as follows:

       Mr. George Miller of California moves that the managers on

[[Page 9252]]

     reporting an amendment to prohibit the Department of Labor 
     from using funds under the Act to implement any portion of a 
     regulation that would make any employee ineligible for 
     overtime pay who would otherwise qualify for overtime pay 
     under regulations under section 13 of the Fair Labor 
     Standards Act in effect September 3, 2003, except that 
     nothing in the amendment shall affect the increased salary 
     requirements provided in such regulations as specified in 
     section 541 of title 29 of the Code of Federal Regulations, 
     as promulgated on April 23, 2004.

                              {time}  1245


                  Motion to Table Offered by Mr. DeLay

  Mr. DeLAY. Mr. Speaker, I offer a preferential motion.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mr. LaHood). The Clerk will report the 
motion.
  The Clerk read as follows:

        Mr. DeLay moves that the motion to instruct be laid on the 
     table.

                         Parliamentary Inquiry

  Mr. GEORGE MILLER of California. Parliamentary inquiry, Mr. Speaker.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from California (Mr. George 
Miller) will state it.
  Mr. GEORGE MILLER of California. Mr. Speaker, if a motion to table 
this motion on overtime pay prevails, will it have the effect of 
prohibiting the House Members from even discussing the administration's 
overtime pay rules at this time?
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The motion will not be before the House if 
the motion is tabled.
  Mr. GEORGE MILLER of California. Further parliamentary inquiry, Mr. 
Speaker.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman will state it.
  Mr. GEORGE MILLER of California. Mr. Speaker, so to be clear, that 
means that the body will not be debating overtime pay today; is that 
the impact of the motion to table, to deny us a vote on the overtime 
pay?
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. If the motion to table were adopted, the 
motion of the gentleman from California (Mr. George Miller) would not 
be before the House.
  The question is on the motion offered by the gentleman from Texas 
(Mr. DeLay).
  The question was taken; and the Speaker pro tempore announced that 
the ayes appeared to have it.


                             Recorded Vote

  Mr. GEORGE MILLER of California. Mr. Speaker, I demand a recorded 
vote.
  A recorded vote was ordered.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to clause 8 of rule XX, this 15-
minute vote on the motion to table the motion to instruct, if the 
motion to table is adopted, will be followed by a 5-minute vote on 
suspending the rules and adopting H. Res. 608.
  The vote was taken by electronic device, and there were--ayes 222, 
noes 205, not voting 6, as follows:
