                    Announcement by the Acting Chair

  The Acting CHAIR (Mr. Holding) (during the vote). There is 1 minute 
remaining.

                              {time}  1424

  So the amendment was rejected.
  The result of the vote was announced as above recorded.
  Stated against:
  Mr. McCAUL. Mr. Chair, on rollcall no. 429, I mistakenly voted 
``yes'' when I intended to vote ``no.''


                          personal explanation

  Mrs. NAPOLITANO. Mr. Chair, I was absent during rollcall votes No. 
426 through No. 429 due to my spouse's health situation in California. 
Had I been present, I would have voted ``nay'' on the Motion on 
Ordering the Previous Question on the Rule providing for consideration 
of H.R. 3219. I would have also voted ``nay'' on H. Res. 478--Rule 
providing for consideration of H.R. 3219--``Make America Secure 
Appropriations Act, 2018.'' I would have also voted ``nay'' on the 
Blackburn Amendment. I would have also voted ``nay'' on the Perry 
amendment.
  The Acting CHAIR. There being no further amendments pursuant to House 
Resolution 473, the Committee rises.
  Accordingly, the Committee rose; and the Speaker pro tempore (Mr. 
Hill) having assumed the chair, Mr. Holding, Acting Chair of the 
Committee of the Whole House on the state of the Union, reported that 
that Committee, having had under consideration the bill (H.R. 3219) 
making appropriations for the Department of Defense for the fiscal year 
ending September 30, 2018, and for other purposes, had come to no 
resolution thereon.
