DEPARTMENTS OF VETERANS AFFAIRS AND HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT, AND 
             INDEPENDENT AGENCIES APPROPRIATIONS ACT, 1997

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to House Resolution 456 and rule 
XXIII, the Chair declares the House in the Committee of the Whole House 
on the State of the Union for the further consideration of the bill 
(H.R. 3666).

                              {time}  1109


                     in the committee of the whole

  Accordingly the House resolved itself into the Committee of the Whole 
House on the State of the Union for the further consideration of the 
bill (H.R. 3666) making appropriations for the Departments of Veterans 
Affairs and Housing and Urban Development, and for sundry independent 
agencies, boards, commissions, corporations, and offices for the fiscal 
year ending September 30, 1997, and for other purposes, with Mr. 
Combest in the chair.
  The Clerk read the title of the bill.
  The CHAIRMAN. When the Committee of the Whole rose on Tuesday, June 
25, 1996, the bill had been read through page 58, line 21.


          sequential votes postponed in committee of the whole

  The CHAIRMAN. Pursuant to House Resolution 456, proceedings will now 
resume on those amendments on which further proceedings were postponed 
in the following order: the amendment offered by the gentleman from New 
York [Mr. Lazio]; amendment No. 46 offered by the gentleman from 
Connecticut [Mr. Shays]; amendment No. 41 offered by the gentleman from 
Vermont [Mr. Sanders]; and amendment No. 15 offered by the gentleman 
from Colorado [Mr. Hefley].
  The Chair will reduce to 5 minutes the time for any electronic vote 
after the first vote in this series.


               amendment offered by mr. lazio of new york

  The CHAIRMAN. The unfinished business is the demand for a recorded 
vote on the amendment offered by the gentleman from New York [Mr. 
Lazio] on which further proceedings were postponed and on which the 
noes prevailed by voice vote.
  The Clerk will designate the amendment.
  The text of the amendment is as follows:

       Amendment offered by Mr. Lazio of New York:
       Page 19, line 9, after ``$5,372,000,000'' insert ``(reduced 
     by $140,000,000)''.
       Page 19, line 19, after ``$800,000,000'', insert ``(reduced 
     by $140,000,000)''.
       Page 20, line 18, after ``$595,000,000'' insert 
     ``(increased by $100,000,000)''.
       Page 20, line 24, after the dollar amount insert 
     ``(increased by $40,000,000)''.

  Mr. LEWIS of California. Mr. Chairman, with almost the entire House 
present, and with the number of votes that are coming forth, I ask 
unanimous consent to have 1 minute on my side and 1 minute for the 
gentleman from Ohio [Mr. Stokes] to briefly outline what these votes 
are.
  The CHAIRMAN. Is there objection to the request of the gentleman from 
California?
  Mr. LAZIO of New York. Reserving the right to object, Mr. Chairman, 
we have had a debate on this yesterday. I was kind enough to allow the 
gentleman from Florida [Mr. Canady] to go twice out of order. We had to 
roll the vote until today so that we had the opportunity to live within 
the context of the agreement with the other side.
  If this is an opportunity to debate this issue one more time and spin 
it in a way against those offering amendments, I would have to press 
this objection.
  Mr. LEWIS of California. Mr. Chairman, I withdraw my unanimous 
consent request.


                             recorded vote

  The CHAIRMAN. A recorded vote has been demanded.
  A recorded vote was ordered.
  The vote was taken by electronic device, and there were--ayes 353, 
noes 61, not voting 19, as follows:

  Messrs. WELLER, SAWYER, and LAZIO of New York changed their vote from 
``no'' to ``aye.''
  So the amendment was agreed to.
  The result of the vote was announced as above recorded.


                          personal explanation

  Mr. HINCHEY. Mr. Chairman, due to a delay this morning I did not make 
it to the floor to vote on several rollcall votes. On rollcall No. 274, 
the Sanders amendment to increase funding for the Court of Veterans 
Appeals, I would have voted ``yes.'' On rollcall No. 273, the Shays-
Lowey amendment on increasing funds for the Housing Opportunities for 
Persons with AIDS amendment I would have voted ``yes.'' The funding for 
this program has remained flat for the last 3 years while the number of 
AIDS cases has increased by an additional one-third in that time and 
the number of States and cities qualifying for grants has increased by 
23 percent. We must do better--this Congress should not be abandoning 
people with AIDS and having them live on the street.


                    amendment offered by mr. hefley

  The CHAIRMAN. The unfinished business is the demand for a recorded 
vote on the amendment offered by the gentleman from Colorado [Mr. 
Hefley] on which further proceedings were postponed and on which the 
noes prevailed by voice vote.
  The Clerk will redesignate the amendment.
  The text of the amendment is as follows:

       Amendment offered by Mr. Hefley: Page 37, after 
     ``$962,558,000'' insert ``(reduced by $42,000,000)''.
       Page 69, line 8, after ``$46,500,000'' insert ``(increased 
     by $20,000,000)''.
