As I was listening to the Reading Clerk read through the rule, it sounded a little restrictive. Today, I went back and referenced my notes just to make sure that I was right. Mr. Speaker, House Resolution 876 is a structured rule, but it…

By direction of the Committee on Rules, I call up House Resolution 876 and ask for its immediate consideration. The Clerk read the resolution, as follows: H. Res. 876 Resolved, That at any time after adoption of this resolution the Speaker…

I ask the gentleman from Massachusetts if he has any further speakers remaining. Mr. McGOVERN. Mr. Speaker, I would just inform the gentleman that we have one additional speaker who says he is on his way.

For the purpose of debate only, I yield the customary 30 minutes to the gentleman from Massachusetts (Mr. McGovern), pending which I yield myself such time as I may consume. During consideration of this resolution, all time yielded is for…
