The speaker pro tempore without objection, the gentleman from massachusetts. Mr. Mcgovern mr. Speaker, im happy to yield to the gentleman from texas, mr. Hinojosa, for unanimous consent request. The speaker pro tempore the gentleman is recognized. Mr. Hinojosa mr. Speaker, as chair of the c. H. C. , i ask unanimous consent to revise and extend my remarks in very strong opposition to the farm bill rule and the underlying bill because it hurts americas poor children and Senior Citizens. The speaker pro tempore without objection, the gentlemans time will be charged. For what purpose does mr. Hoyer parliamentary inquiry. Ive been listening, as youve heard, to the judgment. What the gentleman just did, mr. Hinojosa, was one sentence but he gave a second reason he was opposed. The first reason because it increased poverty and the second, undermines children. That was the same sentence. It seems there was little substantive difference between the statement that preceded it for which you did not charge time and for the statement from he gentleman from the hispanic caucus. Id like to understand the parliamentary difference that the speaker perceived in those two statements . The speaker pro tempore in the opinion of the chair, the gentleman engaged in embellishment. Mr. Hoyer he stated two reasons he was opposed. Is the chairs ruling that only one reason will be allowed to be articulated by a member for opposition to this bill . The speaker pro tempore the gentleman also prefaced his remarks. Mr. Hoyer he did do that. The speaker pro tempore the gentleman from massachusetts. Mr. Hoyer and explained to the American Public presumably who is watching this, mr. Speaker, of the framework hes representing, representing a large group of americans, hispanic americans, who have a large number of represents in this body. Can he not explain hes the person from maryland, for instance, or the person from some other state . The speaker pro tempore in the opinion of the chair, the gentleman engaged in embellishment. The gentleman from massachusetts. Mr. Mcglovepb i yield to mr. Meeks for a unanimous consent. Mr. Meeks i ask unanimous consent to revise and extend my remarks in strong opposition to the farm bill rule and the underlying bill because it hurts the working poor, it leaves children without food, and it hurts seniors on an everyday basis. The speaker pro tempore without objection, the gentlemans time will be charged. The gentleman from massachusetts. Mr. Hoyer parliamentry inquiry. The speaker pro tempore the gentleman will state his inquiry. Mr. Hoyer in explaining your answer to the last parliamentary inquiry, you indicated the problem was that he embellished by introducing himself as chairman of the hispanic caucus. The gentleman from new york who just spoke did not do so, but simply articulated three reasons he was opposed to this bill. It seems to me that that is certainly within the contell plays of a contemplation of a unanimous consent request. If we start parsing that people can only articulate one reason, i would suggest to our friends, the parliamentarians and speaker, that will establish a precedent which will be very difficult and subjective for implementation by the speaker. I ask the speaker to perhaps further explain why mr. Meeks objection was charged to mr. Mcgoverns time. The speaker pro tempore the chair is looking at a simple declarative statement not multiple declarative statements. The gentleman from massachusetts. Mr. Hoyer further parliamentary inquiry. There was one declarative sentence. It had two commomas in it. If we are going to paragraphs pars this to that extent, i suggest to the speaker and frankly to those advising the speaker we are going down a road which is very dangerous. Clearly if there was an extended time one could understand that. Ut adding two very short parenthetical phrases is, i think, mr. Speaker, inconsistent with your previous rulings as to when you would not charge the time against the mr. Mcgovern. Again, mr. Speaker, i understood that when mr. Hinojosa introduced himself as representing all of the hispanic caucus when he objected to the underlying bill, that that might be perceived as a greater explanation than the speaker would think warranted, but mr. Meeks statement following that immediately was a simple declarative statement with two parenthetical phrases. Not long in nature, explaining why he was objecting. It seems to me thats consistent with the rules and the speaker pro tempore the gentleman will suspend. The chair will continue to evaluate each individual declarative statement and make the judgment there with regards to embellishment, according to the previous statements that have been made. The gentleman from massachusetts. Mr. Mcgovern could i inquire how much time has been charged against us for these unanimous consent request. The speaker pro tempore two minutes total. Mr. Mcgovern parliamentary inquiry. Would it be in order for me to ask for unanimous consent that the time that has been charged gainst us be restored . I object to that. The speaker pro tempore the objection is heard. The gentleman from massachusetts. M mcgovern further parliamentary inquiry, i didnt make the request yet. The speaker pro tempore the gentleman can make mr. Mcgovern i ask unanimous consent that the time charged against us be restored given the fact we are operating under a closed rule on a very important piece of legislation where a lot of members would like to be heard. The speaker pro tempore is there objection to the gentlemans request . Mr. Sessions there is objection. The speaker pro tempore ok. There is objection. The gentleman from massachusetts. Mr. Mcgovern mr. Speaker, i would like to yield to the gentleman from minnesota, mr. Nolan, for unanimous consent request. The speaker pro tempore the gentleman is recognized. Mr. Nolan mr. Speaker, i ask unanimous consent to revise and extend my remarks in strong opposition to the farm bill rule and the underlying bill because it violates a decadesold principle uniting urban and rural interests together and feeding hungry people. The speaker pro tempore without objection, the gentlemans time will be charged the gentleman from massachusetts. Mr. Mcgovern i yield to the gentlewoman from from new hampshire, ms. Kuster. Ms. Kuster mr. Speaker, i ask unanimous consent that revise and extend my remarks in very strong opposition to the farm bill rule and the underlying bill because veterans in my istrict including children and patriotic families all across america are hungry. The speaker pro tempore without objection. The gentl
