And how long was that? The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Massachusetts' time was charged 4\1/2\ minutes. Mr. McGOVERN. Mr. Speaker, a parliamentary inquiry. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman will state his parliamentary inquiry. Mr. McGOVERN. So 4\1/2\ minutes total for all of the unanimous consent requests? The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Massachusetts was charged 7\1/4\ minutes. Mr. McGOVERN. So 7\1/4\ minutes have been charged to us for unanimous consent requests, notwithstanding the fact that we have a closed rule. I think everybody stayed within the limit maybe with a little bit of an exception. I ask unanimous consent that our time be reinstated. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the gentleman from Massachusetts?
