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.
