  Mr. STUPAK changed his 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. FOSSELLA. Mr. Speaker, on rollcall No. 336, I was unable to get 
to vote due to inclement weather in the metro New York City area. Had I 
been present, I would have voted ``yes''.
  Stated against:
  Ms. EDDIE BERNICE JOHNSON of Texas. Mr. Speaker, on rollcall numbers 
335 and 336, I was unavoidably detained. Had I been present, I would 
have voted ``no'' on each rollcall vote.
