  Mr. TERRY changed his vote from ``yea'' to ``nay.''
  Messrs. CHANDLER and BARTLETT changed their vote from ``nay'' to 
``yea.''
  So the motion was agreed to.
  The result of the vote was announced as above recorded.
  A motion to reconsider was laid on the table.
  Stated for:
  Mr. TONKO. Mr. Speaker, on rollcall No. 659, had I been present, I 
would have voted ``yea.''
  Mr. GARAMENDI. I voice my strong support for the America COMPETES 
Reauthorization Act of 2010, H.R. 5116. Unfortunately during a busy 
legislative day, I missed the rollcall for this important bill, which 
passed the House of Representatives today. Had I been present on the 
House Floor, I would have cast an ``aye'' vote in favor of H.R. 5116.
