                  congressional women's softball game

  Ms. WASSERMAN SCHULTZ. Ladies and gentlemen of the House, colleagues, 
the gentlewoman from Missouri and I would like to invite you to see how 
softball is really played when women come together in a bipartisan, 
bicameral effort to bring the parties together and to raise money for a 
good cause.
  We encourage you all to come out this Tuesday, July 14, at 7:30 at 
Guy Mason Field for the first annual historic, bicameral and bipartisan 
congressional women's softball game.
  We have been practicing now for a month and have the assistance of 
several of our colleagues who are veterans

[[Page H7866]]

of the congressional baseball team. A few of them were out there today. 
We were having a great time. The women have gotten to know each other 
and have been engaging in bonding.
  It is my privilege to yield to my friend from Missouri (Mrs. 
Emerson).
  Mrs. EMERSON. We really do hope that you will come. You will be 
amazed at not how badly we play at all, but how good we have become, 
and at how, as Debbie says, we have really come together as a team. We 
all know how to play softball. We are going to be playing some of the 
women of the Democratic and Republican National Committees. We are at 
least twice their age.
  We will be doing it, as Debbie said, next week on Tuesday at 7:30 at 
Guy Mason Field. It is at 3600 Calvert Street NW at Calvert and 
Wisconsin behind the Vice President's house. We really, really want all 
of you to come.
  We also want to thank all of our teammates. We have about 15 of us. 
We are pleased that we have also three of the men helping coach us. I 
think we won't let you down, and we really want you to come. There will 
be food there and good things to drink and eat.
  Ms. WASSERMAN SCHULTZ. Mr. Speaker, we encourage everyone to come out 
and engage in a little off-campus, bipartisan fun and cheer on the 
congressional women's softball team.
  Mr. HOYER. Will the gentlelady yield?
  Ms. WASSERMAN SCHULTZ. I will be happy to yield.
  Mr. HOYER. I want to announce to the House that because of the 
importance of this event, I want to assure all Members that we are 
going to make sure that the schedule accommodates the event.


                announcement by the speaker pro tempore

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Without objection, 5-minute voting will 
continue.
  There was no objection.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the resolution.
  The question was taken; and the Speaker pro tempore announced that 
the ayes appeared to have it.
  Mr. LINCOLN DIAZ-BALART of Florida. Mr. Speaker, on that I demand the 
yeas and nays.
  The yeas and nays were ordered.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. This will be a 5-minute vote.
  The vote was taken by electronic device, and there were--yeas 223, 
nays 200, not voting 9, as follows:
