  Messrs. SCHUMER, RICHARDSON, and JEFFERSON changed their vote from 
``no'' to ``aye.''
  So the amendments en bloc were rejected.
  The result of the vote was announced as above recorded.


                          personal explanation

  Ms. VELAZQUEZ. Mr. Chairman, during rollcall votes 357, 358, and 359, 
I was unavoidably detained. If I were present, I would have voted 
``yes'' on all three amendments.


                          personal explanation

  Mr. FLAKE. Mr. Chairman, this morning I returned to J.F. Kennedy 
Airport, which is in my district, to be with the families of those who 
were downed in Flight 800. Thus, I missed the following votes: rollcall 
No. 357, I would have voted ``yes''; rollcall No. 358, I would have 
voted ``no''; rollcall No. 359, I would have voted ``yes''; on final 
passage, I would have voted ``yes''; and on the previous question, I 
would have voted ``yes.''
  (Mr. JACOBS asked and was given permission to speak out of order.)


                         hall of fame induction

  Mr. JACOBS. Mr. Chairman, the time is August 4, 2 p.m. Eastern. The 
channel is ESPN. The occasion is sublime.
  Our colleague, the gentleman from Kentucky [Mr. Bunning] then and 
there will be inducted into baseball's Hall of Fame.
  I know that my colleagues, like my wife and I, will be watching, and 
our VCR's will be watching as well.
  And, Mr. Chairman, I want to join the gentleman who is about to speak 
in heaping the well-deserved encomiums on my dear friend forever in the 
past and forever in the future, the honorable, the very honorable 
gentleman from Indiana [Mr. Myers].
  Mr. FAZIO of California. Mr. Chairman, I ask unanimous consent to 
strike the last word.
  The CHAIRMAN. Is there objection to the request of the gentleman from 
California?
  There was no objection.
  Mr. FAZIO of California. Mr. Chairman, in 1966 the gentleman from 
Covington, IN, and the gentleman from Jasper, AL, were elected to 
Congress. Little did they know that over the next 30 years they would 
share so much responsibility and be so much a symbol to all of us of 
the best of the House of Representatives when it works together on a 
bipartisan basis. I say to my colleagues, ``For 20 years it has been 
Bevill and Myers or Myers and Bevill, and it really didn't matter 
because you needed the two of them if you wanted to do anything, and 
for

[[Page H8387]]

many of us, it meant we have been able to do a great deal. In fact they 
have done a great deal for the country.''
  Many of us have taken time during the last few hours of debate to 
express our appreciation, but I thought it might be appropriate when 
all the Members were gathered here in the Chamber if we give these two 
outstanding symbols of public service the standing ovation their 
careers warrant.
  The CHAIRMAN. Are there other amendments permitted by the previous 
order of the House of Wednesday, July 24, 1996.
  If not, pursuant to House Resolution 483, the Committee rises.
  Accordingly the Committee rose; and the Speaker pro tempore (Mr. 
Upton) having assumed the chair, Mr. Oxley, Chairman of the Committee 
of the Whole House on the State of the Union, reported that that 
Committee, having had under consideration the bill (H.R. 3816), making 
appropriations for energy and water development for the fiscal year 
ending September 30, 1997, and for other purposes, pursuant to House 
Resolution 483, he reported the bill back to the House with sundry 
amendments adopted by the Committee of the Whole.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Under the rule, the previous question is 
ordered.
  Is a separate vote demanded on any amendment? If not, the Chair will 
put them en gros.
  The amendments were agreed to.
  The CHAIRMAN. The question is on the engrossment and third reading of 
the bill.
  The bill was ordered to be engrossed and read a third time, and was 
read the third time.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the passage of the bill.
  Pursuant to clause 7 of rule XV, the yeas and nays are ordered.
  The vote was taken by electronic device, and there were--yeas 391, 
nays 23, not voting 19, as follows:

                             [Roll No. 360]
