  Messrs. BROUN of Georgia, SNYDER and MURPHY of New York changed their 
vote from ``nay'' to ``yea.''
  So (two-thirds being in the affirmative) the rules were suspended and 
the bill, as amended, was passed.
  The result of the vote was announced as above recorded.
  A motion to reconsider was laid on the table.
  Stated for:
  Mr. MORAN of Kansas. Mr. Speaker, I was unavoidably detained on 
Tuesday, November 3, and consequently missed rollcall vote No. 835 on 
H.R. 3949, the Veterans' Small Business Assistance and Servicemembers 
Protection Act of 2009. Had I been present, I would have voted ``yea'' 
on H.R. 3949.
  Mr. FATTAH. Mr. Speaker, had I been present for the vote to suspend 
the rules and pass H.R. 3949 as amended I would have voted ``yea.''
