“I will be calling for a ``no'' vote on the previous question so that I can amend the rule and allow the House to consider the Sabo chemical plant security provision that was left exposed to a point of order in the rule, and the Obey amendment to address the funding shortfalls in the bill. Efforts to allow the full House to consider these two important initiatives were rejected in the Rules Committee yesterday by a straight party-line vote. Madam Speaker, I ask unanimous consent to insert the text of the amendments and extraneous materials immediately prior to the vote. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the gentlewoman from New York? There was no objection.”
