expenditure of money may make a  brief  statement,  not  to  exceed  two
minutes,  in  explanation  of  such  vote;  and further provided that in
addition to the foregoing, the sponsor of a bill may  make  a  statement
not  to  exceed  five  minutes for the purpose of opening debate on such
bill.   Except as otherwise  provided  by  these  Rules  for  concurrent
resolutions,  no  member shall speak more than once and for no more than
five minutes on any resolution without leave of the House.    Debate  on
any resolution, except as otherwise provided, shall be limited to thirty
minutes. Members may be granted permission to submit a written statement
to  extend  upon their remarks on the floor for the record; such remarks
