  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 was amended so as to read: ``Concurrent resolution 
expressing the sense of Congress rejecting the conclusions of a recent 
article published in the Psychological Bulletin, a journal of the 
American Psychological Association, that suggests that sexual 
relationships between adults and children might be positive for 
children''.
  A motion to reconsider was laid on the table.
  Stated for:
  Mrs. NORTHUP. Mr. Speaker, on rollcall No. 278, I was inadvertently 
detained. Had I been present, I would have voted ``yes.''
  Mr. GEKAS. Mr. Speaker, on rollcall No. 278, I was involved in a 
conference off the floor and missed the vote. Had I been present, I 
would have voted ``aye.''
  Mr. FLETCHER. Mr. Speaker, on rollcall No. 278, I was unavoidably 
detained. Had I been present, I would have voted ``yes.''
