as amended H. Res. 376, Expressing the sense of the House of 
Representatives that the Federal Trade Commission should investigate 
the publication of the video game ``Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas'' to 
determine if the publisher intentionally deceived the Entertainment 
Software Ratings Board to avoid an ``Adults-Only'' rating.
  Had I been present, I would have voted ``aye'' on rollcall votes 417, 
418 and 419.
