  Mr. FINCHER changed his vote from ``yea'' to ``nay.''
  Mr. COFFMAN and Ms. KAPTUR 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.
  The title was amended so as to read: ``A bill to establish a 
comprehensive United States Government policy to encourage the efforts 
of countries in sub-Saharan Africa to develop an appropriate mix of 
power solutions, including renewable energy, for more broadly 
distributed electricity access in order to support poverty reduction, 
promote development outcomes, and drive economic growth, and for other 
purposes.''.
  A motion to reconsider was laid on the table.
