  The Clerk announced the following pair:
  On this vote:

       Mr. Radanovich and Mr. Rangel for, with Mr. Dellums 
     against.

  Ms. KAPTUR changed her vote from ``aye'' to ``present.''
  Mr. MINGE changed his vote from ``present'' to ``no.''
  Ms. McKINNEY changed her vote from ``no'' to ``aye.''
  So (two-thirds having voted in favor thereof), the rules were 
suspended and the concurrent resolution, as amended, was agreed to.
  The result of the vote was announced as above recorded.
  The title of the concurrent resolution was amended so as to read: ``A 
concurrent resolution expressing the sense of the Congress that the 
United States is committed to military stability in the Taiwan Strait 
and the United States should assist in defending the Republic of China 
(also known as Taiwan) in the event of invasion, missile attack, or 
blockade by the People's Republic of China.''.
  A motion to reconsider was laid on the table.
