  Mr. BRADY of Pennsylvania changed his vote from ``yea'' to ``nay.''
  Mr. FINCHER changed his vote from ``nay'' to ``yea.''
  So the previous question was ordered.
  The result of the vote was announced as above recorded.
  Stated for:
  Mr. BARR. Mr. Speaker, on rollcall No. 406, I was unavoidably 
detained. Had I been present, I would have voted ``yes.''
  (By unanimous consent, Mr. Barton was allowed to speak out of order.)


                    2016 Congressional Baseball Game

  Mr. BARTON. Mr. Speaker, first, I think we should all recognize that 
this is a moment of tragedy in our great country. Our President and 
former President, as we speak here on the House floor, are in Dallas, 
Texas, at a memorial service for the officers who were killed and 
wounded and for the two civilians in the shooting incident in Dallas 
last Friday; so this is a solemn day for our country.
  But, here in Washington, several weeks ago, we had our annual 
congressional baseball game. As you can tell by the piece of hardware 
to my right, for the first time in 8 years, the Republicans won, which 
is something that we can be proud of.
  Before I comment for the winning side, I yield to the gentleman from 
Pennsylvania (Mr. Michael F. Doyle), my good friend and the manager of 
the congressional Democratic team.
  Mr. MICHAEL F. DOYLE of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, I thank my friend 
from Texas. All of us on this side of the aisle share the grief and the 
sadness we all feel about the lives lost in Dallas, in Louisiana, in 
Minnesota, and anywhere in this country where innocent victims lose 
their lives.
  Well, this is unfamiliar territory for me. I haven't had a speech 
prepared for this one.
  Mr. BARTON. It doesn't feel very good, does it?
  Mr. MICHAEL F. DOYLE of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, that trophy sure 
looks out of place on that side of the aisle, but I want to say 
congratulations to the Republican team. You guys played a good game, 
and you deserved to win. We make no excuses. It was a very exciting 
contest for the fans in the stands to watch.
  As always, Joe, as you and I both know, the big winners are the Boys 
and Girls Club of Washington, D.C., the Washington Literacy Council, 
and the Dream Foundation. I believe we were able to raise $500,000 this 
year. And that is really what this is all about and why we play this 
game and the camaraderie that goes along with it.
  So I would say to my friend from Texas, enjoy that trophy in your 
office this year because it is coming back to a different location next 
year.
  Mr. BARTON. Mr. Speaker, I want to commend the gentleman from 
Pennsylvania (Mr. Michael F. Doyle). He and I serve on the same 
committee, and both of our staffs have worked well together on this 
game.
  Mr. Speaker, in 2013, the Republicans were outscored 22-0 in this 
game. That was the low point of my entire congressional career, not 
just baseball, I mean, legislative, you name it.
  But we have risen from the ashes. My coach, Representative Roger 
Williams, who is right behind me, has worked tirelessly. We had 32 
Republican Members who suited up for the game. Twenty-seven of those 
were able to play in the game. We had great pitching from Mark Walker, 
John Shimkus, and our closer Pat Meehan. We had great hitting. I think 
we got 14 hits.
  We were comfortably ahead, and then the Democrats came back in the 
sixth inning and went ahead. And then we came back in the bottom of the 
seventh with two outs. Our slugger from the Sunshine State of Florida, 
Mr. Tom Rooney, slammed one down the right field line. And Bob Dold 
from Illinois scurried home, and I will be darned if we didn't win the 
game by one run. So we kind of slaughtered you all this year.
  It is going to be a competitive game next year, Mr. Doyle. In all 
honesty, it is one of the highlights of my year. I am not like Roger. I 
don't like getting up at 6:30 in the morning to practice, but we do it.
  I would like for every Member of the Republican team that has played 
and practiced to stand up. I would like all my team members to stand 
up.
  I didn't hear much applause on that side of the aisle.
  Mr. Speaker, it is a great game for charity. I think the series now 
is 39 and 39; is that right? So next year, it is bragging rights for 
the century.
  Mr. MICHAEL F. DOYLE of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, I would ask our 
Democratic Members to stand up and be recognized, too.
  Mr. BARTON. Mr. Speaker, we have a Member from the other body who 
actually was one of our stars, Senator Jeff Flake of Arizona. So we 
appreciate him coming over.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Without objection, 5-minute voting will 
continue.
  There was no objection.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the resolution.
  The question was taken; and the Speaker pro tempore announced that 
the ayes appeared to have it.
  Ms. SLAUGHTER. Mr. Speaker, on that I demand the yeas and nays.
  The yeas and nays were ordered.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. This will be a 5-minute vote.
  The vote was taken by electronic device, and there were--yeas 237, 
nays 179, not voting 17, as follows:

                             [Roll No. 407]
