  So (two-thirds of those voting having responded in the affirmative) 
the rules were suspended and the Senate bill, as amended, was passed.
  The result of the vote was announced as above recorded.
  The title of the Senate bill was amended so as to read: ``An Act to 
amend title 38, United States Code, to improve and extend housing, 
insurance, outreach, and benefits programs provided under the laws 
administered by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs, to improve and 
extend employment programs for veterans under laws administered by the 
Secretary of Labor, and for other purposes.''.
  A motion to reconsider was laid on the table.
