The SPEAKER pro tempore ( Mr. Mahoney of Florida ) . Under the Speaker’s announced policy of January 18, 2007, the gentleman from Massachusetts ( Mr. Frank ) is recognized for 60 minutes as the designee of the majority leader.
Mr. FRANK of Massachusetts. Mr. Speaker, let me do what I think you cannot do under the rules and reassure your constituents in Florida that you have not become a Tennesseean when they weren’t looking. I believe the gentleman from Tennessee left the chair, and we do now have the gentleman from Florida in the chair.
