<p>(Feeling) that the committee (had) (too hastily) decided several important issues, Councilman Chambers (asked for) further consideration be given to his colleague's proposal.</p>
<p>What is wrong with asked for?</p>
<p>One asks for a noun; one asks that [noun] [“be” (if passive)] [subjunctive tense].</p>
<p>I’ll offer three typical examples:</p>
<p>“He asks for a house.” Type 1: noun as direct object</p>
<p>“He asks that Bob give a house.” Type 2: clause as direct object; active voice</p>
<p>“He asks that Bob be given a house.” Type 3: clause as direct object; passive voice</p>
