Ron Wyden: “Let me propound a parliamentary inquiry. I would very much like to do…”

On the recordApril 27, 2006

Let me propound a parliamentary inquiry. I would very much like to do what Senator Domenici, the chair of the Energy Committee, has asked for. If I yield to him to speak for any amount of time, will I lose my place to be able, on the pending amendment, to speak on it? Would the Chair so advise at this point? The PRESIDING OFFICER. The answer is yes, unless you ask by unanimous consent that the floor be returned to you and it is approved without objection.
