Announcement by the Acting Chair
The Acting CHAIR (during the vote). One minute remains in this vote.
[[Page H4065]]
{time} 1900
Messrs. VISCLOSKY, CUMMINGS, and CARNAHAN changed their vote from
``aye'' to ``no.''
Mr. BROOKS changed his vote from ``no'' to ``aye.''
So the amendment was rejected.
The result of the vote was announced as above recorded.
Stated against:
Mr. McINTYRE. Mr. Chair, during rollcall vote No. 414 the Amash
amendment on H.R. 2055, I mistakenly recorded my vote as ``yes'' when I
should have voted ``no.''
Mr. FARR. Mr. Chair, on rollcall No. 414, the Amash amendment, had I
been present, I would have voted ``no.''
(By unanimous consent, Mr. Baca was allowed to speak out of order.)
Charitable Golf Tournament
Mr. BACA. Mr. Speaker, today we had an event, and it was on behalf of
the wounded warriors, sponsored by Disabled Sports USA. These are many
of our men and women who are fighting for us, have come back, and we
appreciate everything that they've done for us.
On behalf of Ander Crenshaw, my co-captain on the Republican side,
and myself, we want to thank all of the Members who participated, both
Members and former Members, and all of the sponsors and individuals
involved. It was a tournament for a good cause.
There were no losers. The winners were the wounded warriors and the
disabled sports vets who will get an opportunity to revamp their lives,
enjoy golf.
This was a match between the Republicans and the Democrats. And I
know that last year the Republicans won and retained the cup then, but
today, the Democrats ended up winning and retaining the cup.
On behalf of all the Democrats here and the players who participated,
thank you very much.
I would like to yield to the gentleman from Florida, Ander Crenshaw,
my co-captain.
Mr. CRENSHAW. I thank the gentleman for yielding.
Let the record reflect that's a small trophy that you just held up.
But I certainly want to congratulate the Democratic team. It was a
great day to make some friends among the serving Members. It was great
to see some of the former Members come back and visit with them. As has
been pointed out, the real winners were the wounded warriors and the
organizations that work every day to help them rebuild their lives.
I want to again congratulate the Democratic team members and thank
everybody for their involvement. It was a wonderful day.
Mr. BACA. Thank you very much. With that, it says Speaker's Trophy.
I yield back the balance of my time.
Amendment No. 2 Offered by Mr. Sherman
The Acting CHAIR. Without objection, 2-minute voting will continue.
There was no objection.
The Acting CHAIR. The unfinished business is the demand for a
recorded vote on the amendment offered by the gentleman from California
(Mr. Sherman) on which further proceedings were postponed and on which
the ayes prevailed by voice vote.
The Clerk will redesignate the amendment.
The Clerk redesignated the amendment.

personal explanation
Ms. LEE. Mr. Speaker, I was unable to cast my votes this evening. Had

amendment offered by Mr. LaTourette and ``yes'' on the amendment
offered by Mr. Sherman. I would have voted ``no'' on the amendment
offered by Mr. Amash, and finally I would have voted ``yes'' on
retaining title II, the Department of Veterans Affairs.
personal explanation
Ms. SLAUGHTER. Mr. Speaker, I was unavoidably detained on official
business and missed rollcall vote Nos. 413, 414, 415 and 416. Had I
been present, I would have voted ``aye'' on rollcall vote No. 413,
``nay'' on rollcall No. 414, ``aye'' on rollcall vote No. 415 and
``aye'' on rollcall vote No. 416. Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent
that my statement appear in the permanent Record immediately following
this vote.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to clause 1(c) of rule XIX, further
consideration of H.R. 2055 is postponed.
