   PRIVILEGES OF THE HOUSE--DISMISSAL OF CONTEST IN 46TH DISTRICT OF 
                               CALIFORNIA

  Mr. GEPHARDT. Mr. Speaker, I rise to a question of the privileges of 
the House, and I send to the desk a privileged resolution (H. Res. 315) 
pursuant to rule IX and ask for its immediate consideration.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore [Mr. Calvert]. The Clerk will report the 
resolution.
  The Clerk read as follows:

       Whereas, the election contest concerning the 46th District 
     of California should be dismissed as there is no credible 
     evidence to show that the outcome of the election is 
     different than the election of Congresswomen Loretta Sanchez.
       Whereas, State of California authorities should continue 
     their investigation into questionable registration 
     activities; and
       Whereas, the Committee on House Oversight should examine 
     voter registration procedures; and now therefore be it
       Resolved, that the contest in the 46th District of 
     California is dismissed.

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The resolution presents a question of the 
privileges of the House.


                 Motion to Table Offered by Mr. Solomon

  Mr. SOLOMON. Mr. Speaker, I offer a motion to table.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Clerk will report the motion.
  The Clerk read as follows:

       Mr. Solomon moves to lay the resolution on the table.

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the motion to table 
offered by the gentleman from New York [Mr. Solomon].


                         Parliamentary Inquiry

  Mr. HOYER. Mr. Speaker, I have a parliamentary inquiry.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman will state it.
  Mr. HOYER. Mr. Speaker, I was told by the majority leader that we 
would have time to debate this resolution. I was also told by the 
Speaker that we would have time to debate this resolution.
  Am I correct that voting for this motion made by the Chairman of the 
Committee on Rules will obviate the representations of the Speaker and 
the majority leader?
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. This is not a debatable motion.
  The question is on the motion to table offered by the gentleman from 
New York [Mr. Solomon].
  The question was taken; and the Speaker pro tempore announced that 
the ayes appeared to have it.


                             Recorded Vote

  Mr. WISE. Mr. Speaker, I demand a recorded vote.
  A recorded vote was ordered.
  The vote was taken by electronic device, and there were--ayes 215, 
noes 193, answered ``present'' 2, not voting 24, as follows:
