  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to the rule, the gentleman from 
Texas [Mr. Brooks] will be recognized for 20 minutes, and the gentleman 
from New York [Mr. Fish] will be recognized for 20 minutes.
  The Chair recognizes the gentleman from Texas [Mr. Brooks].
  Mr. BROOKS. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume.
  (Mr. BROOKS asked and was given permission to revise and extend his 
remarks.)
  Mr. BROOKS. Mr. Speaker, H.R. 4777 makes technical improvements in 
the United States Code by amending provisions to reflect the current 
names of congressional committees. The bill was prepared for the House 
Judiciary Committee by the Office of the Law Revision Counsel under its 
authority under section 285b of title 2, United States Code.
  The Law Revision Counsel assures me that H.R. 4777 makes no change in 
existing law. Therefore, no additional cost to the Government would be 
incurred as a result of enactment of H.R. 4777. Enactment of H.R. 4777 
would not affect direct spending or receipts. Therefore, pay-as-you-go 
procedures do not apply.
  I urge my colleagues to support H.R. 4777.
  Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. FISH. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume.
  Mr. Speaker, this bill makes technical improvements in the United 
States Code by amending several hundred provisions to reflect the 
current names of congressional committees. The Committee on Natural 
Resources is substituted for the House Committee on Interior and 
Insular Affairs, for instance, and the Committee on Energy and Commerce 
for the House Committee on Interstate and Foreign Commerce.
  These amendments are necessary because of the change of name, 
abolition, or change of jurisdiction of various committees. The bill 
does not itself change the name or jurisdiction of any committee. It 
merely makes appropriate amendments to the Code to reflect changes that 
have already been made.
  This bill was prepared and submitted to the Judiciary Committee by 
the Office of the Law Revision Counsel.
  I ask for a ``yea'' vote on this measure.
  Mr. Speaker, I have no further requests for time, and I yield back 
the balance of my time.
  Mr. BROOKS. Mr. Speaker, I have no further request for time, and I 
yield back the balance of my time.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the motion offered by the 
gentleman from Texas [Mr. Brooks] that the House suspend the rules and 
pass the bill, H.R. 4777, as amended.
  The question was taken.
  Mr. FISH. Mr. Speaker, I object to the vote on the ground that a 
quorum is not present and make the point of order that a quorum is not 
present.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to clause 5, rule I, and the 
Chair's prior announcement, further proceedings on this motion will be 
postponed.
  The point no quorum is considered withdrawn.
