So the previous question was ordered.
The result of the vote was announced as above recorded.
Stated against:
Mr. FILNER. Madam Speaker, on rollcall 341, I was away from the
Capitol region attending the Civil Rights Freedom Riders' 50th
Anniversary Celebration. Had I been present, I would have voted
``nay.''
(By unanimous consent, Mr. Cantor was allowed to speak out of order.)
Legislative Program
Mr. CANTOR. Madam Speaker, as Members are aware, three critical
provisions of the USA PATRIOT Act expire at midnight on Thursday. It is
critical to our national security that we extend these provisions as
soon as possible. At this time, though, a bipartisan agreement on a 4-
year extension of each expiring provision is still pending in the
Senate.
Unfortunately, the Senate will not vote on cloture until some point
Thursday morning. Further, the cloture vote initiates up to 30 hours of
post-cloture debate before the Senate can vote on final passage and
send the bill to the House. If all time were used, which is currently
not known, the Senate would not clear their bill until Friday morning.
Therefore, Madam Speaker, Members are advised to make contingency
travel plans for Thursday and Friday. It is likely that the House will
be in session and voting past 3 p.m. tomorrow. Further, it is possible
that the House could also be in session and voting on Friday. We will
update Members on the Senate's progress as we continue to move through
the week, Madam Speaker.
I thank the Members for their patience, and I no doubt share in their
unspoken thoughts about the other body.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. Without objection, 5-minute voting will
continue.
There was no objection.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the amendment offered by
the gentleman from Utah (Mr. Bishop).
The amendment was agreed to.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the resolution, as
amended.
The question was taken; and the Speaker pro tempore announced that
the ayes appeared to have it.
Recorded Vote
Mr. McGOVERN. Madam Speaker, I demand a recorded vote.
A recorded vote was ordered.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. This will be a 5-minute vote.
The vote was taken by electronic device, and there were--ayes 243,
noes 170, not voting 18, as follows:
