mr. speaker , in 20 seconds i put to the chair a simple question : if this resolution is so simple and noncontroversial , why did it come through the rules committee ? 
and is it not true that mr. lantos ' resolution is also simple , and there was nothing to preclude the committee on rules from hearing the lantos matter , had you chosen ? 
and are you not the greatest exemplar of not having closed rules , mr. chairman ?
