                ANNOUNCEMENT BY THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE

  The SPEAKER pro tempore (Ms. Foxx). The Chair has shown lenience 
toward the rather informal pattern by which Members have been yielding 
and reclaiming the time controlled by the gentleman from Massachusetts. 
But Members should bear in mind that the Official Reporters of Debate 
cannot be expected to transcribe two Members simultaneously.
  Members should not participate in debate by interjection and should 
not expect to have the reporter transcribe remarks that are uttered 
when not properly under recognition.


                         PARLIAMENTARY INQUIRY

  Mr. MEEK of Florida. Parliamentary inquiry, Madam Speaker, did you 
use the word ``rhetoric'' at the beginning?
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. No, the Chair did not.
  Mr. MEEK of Florida. Madam Speaker, thank you very much for the 
information.
