Ed Markey: “There's no question that the gentleman from Washington State is…”

On the recordFebruary 15, 2012

There's no question that the gentleman from Washington State is correct, and a master of parliamentary rules, having stood up there or sat up there hundreds of hours, so he is an absolute correct dissector of language used here of seeking recognition from the Chair. So I rise to claim the time in opposition to the amendment, if those are the technical words of art that the gentleman would prefer for me to use. The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from Massachusetts, a true opponent is recognized for 5 minutes.
