        PROVIDING FOR AN ADJOURNMENT OR RECESS OF THE TWO HOUSES

  Mr. WOODALL. Mr. Speaker, I send to the desk a privileged concurrent 
resolution and ask for its immediate consideration.
  The Clerk read the concurrent resolution, as follows:

                            H. Con. Res. 17

       Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate 
     concurring), That when the House adjourns on the legislative 
     day of Thursday, February 17, 2011, Friday, February 18, 
     2011, or Saturday, February 19, 2011, on a motion offered 
     pursuant to this concurrent resolution by its Majority Leader 
     or his designee, it stand adjourned until 2 p.m. on Monday, 
     February 28, 2011, or until the time of any reassembly 
     pursuant to section 2 of this concurrent resolution, 
     whichever occurs first; and that when the Senate recesses or 
     adjourns on any day from Thursday, February 17, 2011, through 
     Friday, February 25, 2011, on a motion offered pursuant to 
     this concurrent resolution by its Majority Leader or his 
     designee, it stand recessed or adjourned until noon on 
     Monday, February 28, 2011, or such other time on that day as 
     may be specified in the motion to recess or adjourn, or until 
     the time of any reassembly pursuant to section 2 of this 
     concurrent resolution, whichever occurs first.
       Sec. 2. The Speaker of the House and the Majority Leader of 
     the Senate, or their respective designees, acting jointly 
     after consultation with the Minority Leader of the House and 
     the Minority Leader of the Senate, shall notify the Members 
     of the House and the Senate, respectively, to reassemble at 
     such place and time as they may designate if, in their 
     opinion, the public interest shall warrant it.

                              {time}  1330

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the concurrent 
resolution.
  The question was taken; and the Speaker pro tempore announced that 
the noes appeared to have it.
  Mr. WOODALL. Mr. Speaker, I object to the vote on the ground that a 
quorum is not present and make the point of order that a quorum is not 
present.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to clause 8 of rule XX, further 
proceedings on this question are postponed.
  The point of no quorum is considered withdrawn.
