  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the motion offered by the 
gentleman from New Jersey (Mr. Smith) that the House suspend the rules 
and pass the bill, H.R. 2561, as amended.
  The question was taken; and (two-thirds having voted in favor 
thereof) the rules were suspended and the bill, as amended, was passed.

title 38, United States Code, to increase the rate of special pension 
for recipients of the Medal of Honor and to make that special pension 
effective from the date of the act for which the recipient is awarded 
the Medal of Honor and to amend title 18, United States Code, to 
increase the criminal penalties associated with misuse or fraud 
relating to the Medal of Honor.''.
  A motion to reconsider was laid on the table.
