On the recordApril 20, 2005
Could I ask a parliamentary inquiry. Before we go to the gentleman from Michigan, when it comes time to vote, are we going to vote on the Rogers amendment to the Johnson amendment, and then if it is amended, we will vote on the Johnson amendment; is that correct? There will be two votes, Rogers to amend Johnson and then Johnson, either amended or unamended, depending on how the Rogers amendment fairs? The Acting CHAIRMAN. If a recorded vote is requested on the Rogers second degree amendment, the Chair would postpone the request and would not put the question on the Johnson amendment until after disposition of the vote on the amendment of the gentleman from Michigan.

Mr. Chairman, my time has expired. Next time I would ask unanimous consent if I could ask the question and then answer it myself so that I could make sure I get the right answer I want.
