the concurrent resolution was agreed to.
  The result of the vote was announced as above recorded.
  A motion to reconsider was laid on the table.
  Stated for:
  Mr. GIBBONS. Mr. Speaker, on rollcall No. 504 I was unavoidably 
detained. Had I been present, I would have voted ``yea.''
  Mr. ISSA. Mr. Speaker, I was present in the Chamber and voted ``yea'' 
on H. Con. Res. 245. However, due to a malfunction, my vote was not 
recorded. As the author of the legislation, you can rest assured that I 
am a ``yea'' vote.
