further consideration of the bill (H.R. 800) to provide for education 
flexibility partnerships, with Mr. Weller (Chairman pro tempore) in the 
chair.
  The Clerk read the title of the bill.
  The CHAIRMAN pro tempore. When the Committee of the Whole rose on 
Wednesday, March 10, 1999, the demand for a recorded vote on amendment 
No. 21 by the gentleman from Virginia (Mr. Scott) had been postponed 
and all time for consideration of the bill under the 5-minute rule had 
expired.


                 Amendment No. 21 Offered by Mr. Scott

  The CHAIRMAN pro tempore. There being no further amendments in order 
under the rule, the unfinished business is the demand for a recorded 
vote on the amendment offered by the gentleman from Virginia (Mr. 
Scott) 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 No. 21 offered by Mr. Scott:
       In section 4(c) (of H.R. 800, as reported), after 
     ``Secretary'', insert ``or a State educational agency''.
       At the end of section 4(c)(1)(G) (of H.R. 800, as 
     reported), strike ``and''.
       After subparagraph (H) of section 4(c) (of H.R. 800, as 
     reported), insert the following:
       (I) in the case of a school that participates in a 
     schoolwide program under section 1114 of the Elementary and 
     Secondary Education Act of 1965, the eligibility requirements 
     of such section if such a school serves a school attendance 
     area in which less than 35 percent of the children are from 
     low-income families; and

  Mrs. LOWEY and Mr. PALLONE changed their vote from ``aye'' to ``no.''
  So the bill was passed.
  The result of the vote was announced as above recorded.
  A motion to reconsider was laid on the table.
  Stated for:
  Mr. HASTINGS of Washington. Madam Speaker, on rollcall No. 41, I was 
inadvertently detained. Had I been present, I would have voted ``yes.''
  Mr. MINGE. Madam Speaker, during rollcall vote No. 41, on passage of 
the Educational Partnership Flexibility Act, H.R. 800, I was 
unavoidably detained. Had I been present, I would have voted ``aye.''
  Mr. MILLER of Florida. Madam Speaker, earlier today I was 
inadvertently detained away from the floor during the vote on final 
passage of H.R. 800. This was my only opportunity to question Attorney 
General Janet Reno about a heinous murder which occurred in my 
congressional district. The suspect fled to Mexico, and 15 months later 
we are still awaiting extradition of this suspect to the United States. 
Had I been present I would have voted ``aye.''
