mr. speaker, i rise today to give a great expression of gratitude to the clooney family. mr. george clooney and his father, nick, were among the many who were arrested on friday, march 16, protesting over at the sudanese embassy. i am saluting them and grateful to them because, not only what they did that day, but what mr. clooney did when he went into sudan, at some considerable risk, i might add, to secure evidence of what was taking place there and what is taking place. and those who would like to see some of the evidence can go to www.enoughproject.org. you can actually see the video. i believe what he has done and those others who were arrested, i think it merits having a flag flown over the capitol. we will fly a flag over the capitol in honor of those who participated in the protest movement. i yield back the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: pursuant to clause 8 of rule 20, the chair will postpone further proceedings today on motions to suspend the rules on which a recorded vote or the yeas and nays are ordered or on which the vote incurs objection under cla
