Announcement by the Speaker Pro Tempore
The SPEAKER pro tempore (during the vote). In this vote, there are 2
minutes remaining.
{time} 1902
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. FILNER. Mr. Speaker, on rollcall 331, I was away from the Capitol
region attending the Civil Rights Freedom Riders' 50th Anniversary
Celebration. Had I been present, I would have voted ``yea.''
Mrs. NAPOLITANO. Mr. Speaker, on Monday, May 23, 2011, I was absent
during rollcall vote No. 331 due to travel delays. Had I been present,
I would have voted ``yea'' on the motion to suspend the rules and agree
to H.R. 1383--Restoring GI Bill Fairness Act. This bill seeks to
reintegrate veterans into the civilian work force by providing various
services such as educational assistance, medical benefits, as well as
employment opportunities. In order to raise the educational and
productivity levels of our labor force, this bill will avert
unemployment among veterans.
