How much time is remaining? The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Georgia has 4\3/4\ minutes remaining, and the gentlewoman from Connecticut has 3\1/2\ minutes remaining. Ms. DeLAURO. Mr. Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman…

If I could ask how much time we have remaining. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Georgia has 2\3/4\ minutes remaining, and the gentlewoman from Connecticut has 1\1/2\ minutes remaining.
