I'm guided by what the committee adopted in its first meeting, which was to allow for motions to be presented to the committee only after 48 hours' notice. Mr. Holland properly did that for his first motion. I believe Mr. Masse also did so for his amendment; he gave the 48 hours' notice. That's what I'm guided by here.
If we are going to allow this, then the committee is basically saying that the 48-hour rule is not in effect. As you know, Mr. McTeague, you could have the issue of gasoline prices as a motion, but you could take every word after the word “that” and change it and substantively change the entire tenor of the motion at one committee.
So what I'm recommending--and I will rule if need be--is that this committee therefore perhaps sit for an extra half an hour on Thursday to discuss the new motion moved by Mr. Holland. We will sit at the end of that because we have not even got into the substance of this motion and we're already 10 minutes over.
