        PROVIDING FOR AN ADJOURNMENT OR RECESS OF THE TWO HOUSES

  Mr. GORDON of Tennessee. Mr. Speaker, I send to the desk a privileged 
concurrent resolution and ask for its immediate consideration.
  The Clerk read the concurrent resolution, as follows:

                            H. Con. Res. 47

       Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate 
     concurring), That when the House adjourns on any legislative 
     day from Thursday, February 12, 2009, through Monday, 
     February 16, 2009, on a motion offered pursuant to this 
     concurrent resolution by its Majority Leader or his designee, 
     it stand adjourned until 2 p.m. on Monday, February 23, 2009, 
     or until the time of any reassembly pursuant to section 2 of 
     this concurrent resolution, whichever occurs first; and that 
     when the Senate recesses or adjourns on any day from Friday, 
     February 13, 2009, through Friday, February 20, 2009, on a 
     motion offered pursuant to this concurrent resolution by its 
     Majority Leader or his designee, it stand recessed or 
     adjourned until 2 p.m. on Monday, February 23, 2009, or such 
     other time on that day as may be specified in the motion to 
     recess or adjourn, or until the time of any reassembly 
     pursuant to section 2 of this concurrent resolution, 
     whichever occurs first.
       Sec. 2. The Speaker of the House and the Majority Leader of 
     the Senate, or their respective designees, acting jointly 
     after consultation with the Minority Leader of the House and 
     the Minority Leader of the Senate, shall notify the Members 
     of the House and the Senate, respectively, to reassemble at 
     such place and time as they may designate if, in their 
     opinion, the public interest shall warrant it.

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the concurrent 
resolution.
  The question was taken; and the Speaker pro tempore announced that 
the ayes appeared to have it.
  Mr. ROGERS of Michigan. Mr. 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.
  Pursuant to clause 8 of rule XX, this 15-minute vote will be followed 
by 5-minute votes on the following motions to suspend the rules: H. 
Res. 154, by the yeas and nays; H.R. 448, by the yeas and nays.
  The vote was taken by electronic device, and there were--yeas 238, 
nays 181, answered ``present'' 1, not voting 12, as follows:
