to get the question in (ph) law

[Alex16]

Finally, we made two recommendations related to possible legislative changes that we heard about. The first, which is now closed, related to the statutory 48-hour time limit for age and (ph) filing of informational materials with the department, which, our report found, was not being met.

...
Yeah, I'm going -- we'll have five-minute rounds. I'll try to cut mine short, if I can, to get the question in (ph).

(ph) appears very frequently
One of the comments:

"phonetic" - it means the transcriber listening to the press conference couldn't exactly make out what was said (or the spelling of a person's name) but made their best guess at it based on what it sounded like. "Inaudible" is similar - just for parts that couldn't be heard by the transcriber at all.

wild guess: ph = per heard = as heard (by the transcriber)?

Да, это стенограмма. Я перевожу ее меньшую часть, и коллеги решили это опустить как не несущее смысловой нагрузки.

...коллеги решили это опустить как не несущее смысловой нагрузки по-моему, несет и, по-моему - если дадут вопрос "воткнуть", то есть позволят задать, то он/она будет предельно краток...
