Thank you, Dr. Lewis.
In response to that, I would simply say that when Mr. Strahl had the floor when the vote was called, I asked whether or not Mr. Strahl and all colleagues wanted to allow Mr. Strahl to continue speaking, and it was, in fact, all members, including Conservative members, who did not want to give unanimous consent to allow Mr. Strahl to keep speaking.
I can say that there were members who I looked at who very verbally, out loud, said that they would not give unanimous consent to continue speaking. There was no attempt whatsoever to stop Mr. Strahl from speaking.
When we came back and resumed after the vote, I turned the floor over to Mr. Badawey because I thought that Mr. Strahl had concluded. He said he hadn't. I did not disrespect Mr. Strahl. I said, “Mr. Strahl, my apologies; I give the floor back to you”, and I didn't even ask for any consent from colleagues, because I respected the fact that Mr. Strahl had the floor and that he wanted to continue speaking.
I think that my work thus far as chair has shown that I am fair and just. I don't know if Mr. Strahl would agree with that, but I think I was very respectful with him when we came back, and I turned the floor right back over to him without any argument. He continued as long as he wanted to speak until such time as he said that he no longer wanted the floor. The record will show that.
