                  Announcement by the Acting Chairman

  The Acting CHAIRMAN (Mr. Duncan) (during the vote). Members are 
advised that 2 minutes remain in this vote.

                              {time}  1826

  Messrs. WEINER, ADERHOLT and FORBES changed their vote from ``no'' to 
``aye.''
  So the amendment was rejected.
  The result of the vote was announced as above recorded.
  The Acting CHAIRMAN. No further amendments being in order, under the 
rule the Committee rises.
  Accordingly, the Committee rose; and the Speaker pro tempore (Mr. 
Kuhl of New York) having assumed the chair, Mr. Duncan, Acting Chairman 
of the Committee of the Whole House on the State of the Union, reported 
that that Committee, having had under consideration the bill (H.R. 609) 
to amend and extend the Higher Education Act of 1965, had come to no 
resolution thereon.
