“I rise in opposition to S. 256. Announcement by the Speaker Pro Tempore The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Chair would advise Members that, as indicated most recently by the Chair on March 24, 2004, although a unanimous consent to insert remarks in debate may embody a simple, declarative statement of the Member's attitude toward the pending measure, it is improper for a Member to embellish such a request with other oratory, and it can become an imposition on the time of the Member who has yielded for that purpose. The Chair will entertain as many requests to insert as may be necessary to accommodate Members, but the Chair also must ask Members to cooperate by confining such remarks to the proper form.”
