     MAKING FURTHER CONTINUING APPROPRIATIONS FOR FISCAL YEAR 2001

  Mr. YOUNG of Florida. Mr. Speaker, pursuant to the provisions of 
House Resolution 646, I call up the joint resolution (H.J. Res. 120) 
making further continuing appropriations for the fiscal year 2001, and 
for other purposes, and ask for its immediate consideration in the 
House.
  The Clerk read the title of the resolution.
  The text of House Joint Resolution 120 is as follows:

                             H.J. Res. 120

       Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the 
     United States of America in Congress assembled, That Public 
     Law 106-275, is further amended by striking the date 
     specified in section 106(c) and inserting ``October 31, 
     2000''.

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to House Resolution 646, the 
gentleman from Florida (Mr. Young) and the gentleman from Wisconsin 
(Mr. Obey) each will control 30 minutes.
  The Chair recognizes the gentleman from Florida (Mr. Young).
  Mr. YOUNG of Florida. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may 
consume.
  Mr. Speaker, this is another of the 1-day CR's. I do not think it 
requires a lot of debate. So I would like to use a couple of minutes 
just to compliment my friend and colleague, the gentleman from 
Wisconsin (Mr. Obey). He looks wide awake this morning despite the fact 
that we had a long night last night. But at about 1 o'clock this 
morning, I think the gentleman from Wisconsin (Mr. Obey) and I both 
felt that we had made some accomplishments in reaching the end on the 
issue of the last appropriations bill that is out there.
  Other than that, Mr. Speaker, there is nothing much more to say on 
this issue. We all know what the issue is. But the good news is that we 
are really at the end on the final appropriations bill.
  Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. OBEY. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume.
  Mr. Speaker, I would like to say good morning to my friend, the 
gentleman

from Florida (Mr. Young). We have been seeing a lot more of each other 
than we would both like. But I think last night it is safe to say that 
there was a significant amount of progress.
  Frankly, there are a couple of items in what was agreed to that I 
regard as a breach of faith on the part of the House. But I am not 
going to get into that right now.
  Basically, the gentleman is right, we made significant progress in 
dealing with the core Labor H bill. There are still a lot of ways that 
things could go wrong, but I hope that they do not.
  I simply urge passage of the resolution.
  Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.
  Mr. YOUNG of Florida. Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my 
time.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. All time for debate has expired.
  The joint resolution is considered as having been read for amendment.
  Pursuant to House Resolution 646, the previous question is ordered.
  The question is on the engrossment and third reading of the joint 
resolution.
  The joint resolution was ordered to be engrossed and read a third 
time, and was read the third time.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the passage of the joint 
resolution.
  The question was taken; and the Speaker pro tempore announced that 
the ayes appeared to have it.
  Mr. OBEY. Mr. Speaker, I object to the vote on the ground that a 
quorum is not present and make the point of order that a quorum is not 
present.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Evidently a quorum is not present.
  The Sergeant at Arms will notify absent Members.
  The vote was taken by electronic device, and there were--yeas 339, 
nays 9, not voting 84, as follows:
