       PRIVILEGED MOTION TO RESOLVE THE HOUSE INTO SECRET SESSION

  Ms. PELOSI. Madam Speaker, pursuant to clause 9 of rule XVII, I offer 
a privileged motion calling for a secret session on the reported 
intelligence assessment that the war in Iraq is hindering our global 
efforts against terrorism.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Clerk will report the motion.
  The Clerk read as follows:

       Pursuant to clause 9 of rule XVII of the rules of the House 
     of Representatives, Ms. Pelosi moves that the House be 
     cleared of all persons except the Members, Delegates, 
     Resident Commissioner, and officers of the House to consider 
     communications which she believes should be kept secret for 
     the present.

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the nondebatable motion 
offered by the gentlewoman from California (Ms. Pelosi).
  The question was taken; and the Speaker pro tempore announced that 
the noes appeared to have it.
  Ms. PELOSI. Madam Speaker, I object to the vote on the ground that a 
quorum is not present and make the point of order that a quorum is not 
present.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Evidently a quorum is not present.
  The Sergeant at Arms will notify absent Members.
  The vote was taken by electronic device, and there were--yeas 171, 
nays 217, not voting 44, as follows:

                Announcement by the Speaker Pro Tempore

  The SPEAKER pro tempore (during the vote). Members are advised that 2 
minutes remain in this vote.

                              {time}  1335

  Mrs. JOHNSON of Connecticut, Messrs. PEARCE, McHENRY, PETRI, 
FRELINGHUYSEN, and MARSHALL changed their vote from ``yea'' to ``nay.''
  Mr. DICKS changed his vote from ``nay'' to ``yea.''
  So the motion was rejected.
  The result of the vote was announced as above recorded.
  A motion to reconsider was laid on the table.
  Stated against:
  Mr. FORTENBERRY. Madam Speaker, on Tuesday, September 26, 2006, I was 
unavoidably detained and thus I missed rollcall vote No. 478. Had I 
been present, I would have voted ``nay.''
