subject to amendment except that the chairman and ranking minority 
member of the Committee on Appropriations and the Subcommittee on 
Foreign Operations, Export Financing, and Related Programs each may 
offer one pro forma amendment for the purpose of debate; and shall not 
be subject to a demand for division of the question in the House or in 
the Committee of the Whole.
  Except as otherwise specified, each amendment shall be debatable for 
10 minutes, equally divided and controlled by the proponent and an 
opponent. An amendment shall be considered to fit the description 
stated in this request if it addresses in whole or in part the object 
described.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the 
gentleman from Arizona?
  Mr. OBEY. Mr. Speaker, reserving the right to object, I certainly 
will not object. I simply want to take this opportunity to explain to 
the House that what this timetable means is that if all of these 
amendments are indeed offered and debated to the full extent allowed 
under the unanimous consent request, we will be fortunate to be out of 
here by midnight tonight. That is how much time it will take, assuming 
that we have about one-third of these amendments that proceed to roll 
calls.
  So for those Members who are asking what time we intend to get out 
tonight, I think it depends upon the zeal with which Members push 
forward with their amendments and with requiring recorded votes.
  Mr. Speaker, I withdraw my reservation of objection.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the 
gentleman from Arizona?
  There was no objection.
