                         PARLIAMENTARY INQUIRY

  Mr. FRANK of Massachusetts. Mr. Speaker, I have a parliamentary 
inquiry.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman will state it.
  Mr. FRANK of Massachusetts. Is there some way that I can convey to 
the membership that this incredible intrusion on their time is in no 
way the responsibility of the Financial Services Committee, that we are 
ready to go to a vote and we are as much the victim as anybody else of 
this--whatever it is?
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman may seek time to address the 
body.
  Mr. FRANK of Massachusetts. Well, I don't want to inflict further 
excess on the body.
