 MOTION TO GO TO CONFERENCE ON H.R. 644, TRADE FACILITATION AND TRADE 
                        ENFORCEMENT ACT OF 2015

  Mr. BRADY of Texas. Mr. Speaker, pursuant to clause 1, rule XXII, and 
by direction of the Committee on Ways and Means, I have a motion at the 
desk.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Clerk will report the motion.
  The Clerk read as follows:

       Mr. Brady of Texas moves to take from the Speaker's table 
     the bill H.R. 644, with the House amendment to the Senate 
     amendment thereto, insist on the House amendment, and agree 
     to the conference requested by the Senate.


                        Parliamentary Inquiries

  Mr. DOGGETT. Mr. Speaker, I have a parliamentary inquiry.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman will state his parliamentary 
inquiry.
  Mr. DOGGETT. Mr. Speaker, is this motion, which makes changes in the 
fast-track procedures that the House voted on earlier in the year, 
debatable?
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Chair was about to recognize the 
gentleman from Texas (Mr. Brady) for 1 hour of debate.
  Mr. DOGGETT. Mr. Speaker, I have a further parliamentary inquiry.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman will state his parliamentary 
inquiry.
  Mr. DOGGETT. Mr. Speaker, is that time divided equally, as is 
normally done on proposals under our rules?
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. It is debatable under the hour rule.
  Mr. DOGGETT. So it can be debated without yielding any time to those 
of us who are opposed to this motion under the rules of the House?
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Texas (Mr. Brady) will be 
recognized for 1 hour.
  Mr. DOGGETT. Further parliamentary inquiry, Mr. Speaker.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman will state his parliamentary 
inquiry.
  Mr. DOGGETT. Under the new, open, inclusive policies that Speaker 
Ryan has announced, when was notice of this conference report coming up 
for a vote tonight first provided to all the Members of the House?
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman has not presented a valid 
parliamentary inquiry. The Chair will not respond to matters of 
scheduling.
  Mr. DOGGETT. Well, wasn't it about 30 minutes ago?
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Texas (Mr. Brady) is 
recognized for 1 hour.
  Mr. BRADY of Texas. Mr. Speaker, we need to go to conference and move 
the Customs bill forward. We will have a motion to instruct and a full 
hour of debate later this evening.
  I yield back the balance of my time, and I move the previous question 
on the motion.
  The previous question was ordered.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the motion offered by the 
gentleman from Texas (Mr. Brady).
  The question was taken; and the Speaker pro tempore announced that 
the ayes appeared to have it.
