On the recordSeptember 16, 1998
reclaiming my time under my reservation of objection, the gentleman is correct. Only moments, not even minutes, almost seconds before we began this discussion we got the revised or the new motion to instruct, and it was obviously different than we have been led to believe earlier. And it is true that when the gentleman from Maryland (Mr. Hoyer) went down with the piece of paper I did think it was going to be the revised motion to instruct, however I was considering at that moment whether I should object to that. I did not. This gives me another opportunity to at least raise this. I would like to at least ask either the gentleman from Maryland or the gentleman from Wisconsin about whether or not we would be able, if we are going to use this motion, this revised motion dealing with Y2K, whether we would be able to expedite the discussion on this so that we would not require a lot of time here on the floor this morning.
