  So I would hope that after the remarks of the gentleman from New 
Jersey (Mr. Rothman), the reason why he did not show that bulb, it was 
made in China. So any of the workers and procurement people in 
Washington who are now going to get $65 tax-free to help commute, when 
they go out and buy, look at the label.
  With that, a $360 billion trade deficit, for historical purposes, 
Jimmy Carter's last year had a balanced trade picture; no surplus, no 
deficit.
  Mr. TAYLOR of North Carolina. Mr. Chairman, will the gentleman yield?
  Mr. TRAFICANT. I yield to the gentleman from North Carolina.
  Mr. TAYLOR of North Carolina. Mr. Chairman, we have no objection to 
the amendment offered by the distinguished gentleman from Ohio.
  Mr. TRAFICANT. Mr. Chairman, reclaiming my time, I would be glad to 
yield to my distinguished friend, the gentleman from Virginia (Mr. 
Moran).
  Mr. MORAN of Virginia. Mr. Chairman, we do not have any objection 
either; but I do not think that, as long as we look for the highest 
quality at the most affordable price, we are going to have a problem 
with the intent of the gentleman's amendment anyway. But we are not 
going to object to it.
  Mr. TRAFICANT. Mr. Chairman, reclaiming my time, I was hoping the 
gentleman would say he supported it.
  With that, I ask for a vote in the affirmative.
  The CHAIRMAN. Is there any Member who claims time in opposition to 
the amendment?
  Hearing none, the question is on the amendment offered by the 
gentleman from Ohio (Mr. Traficant).
  The amendment was agreed to.
  The CHAIRMAN. There being no further amendments, under the rule, the 
Committee rises.
  Accordingly, the Committee rose; and the Speaker pro tempore (Mr. 
McHugh) having assumed the chair, Mr. Simpson, Chairman 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. 2647) 
making appropriations for the Legislative Branch for the fiscal year 
ending September 30, 2002, and for other purposes, pursuant to House 
Resolution 213, he reported the bill back to the House with sundry 
amendments adopted by the Committee of the Whole.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Under the rule, the previous question is 
ordered.
  Is a separate vote demanded on any amendment?


                             General Leave

  Mr. TAYLOR of North Carolina. Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent 
that all Members have 5 legislative days within which to revise and 
extend their remarks, and that I be permitted to include tabular and 
extraneous material

[[Page 15177]]

on the bill, H.R. 2647, making appropriations for the Legislative 
Branch for the fiscal year 2002, and for other purposes.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the 
gentleman from North Carolina?
  Mr. YOUNG of Florida. Mr. Speaker, reserving the right to object, I 
only do so to commend the gentleman from North Carolina (Chairman 
Taylor) and the gentleman from Virginia (Mr. Moran) for bringing a good 
bill to the floor and having done a good job.
  In addition, I want to announce to Members that this is the tenth 
appropriations bill that we have passed this year; and despite the fact 
that we got off to a very late start, not receiving our justifications 
and specific numbers actually until April, when we normally get them in 
February, the House has done a great job in coming together to pass 
these appropriations bills, one supplemental that is already signed 
into law and nine of the regular appropriations bills.
  That is all the appropriations business we will have for the balance 
of this week and until we return from our summer work period in our 
districts. When we get back, we will take up very soon upon our arrival 
the Military Construction bill, the Defense appropriations bill, the 
District of Columbia bill and the Labor Health and Education bill.
  So we had a very busy month in June and an extremely busy month in 
July as far as appropriations go. September will be no different. It 
will be an intense time for all of us as we approach the end of the 
fiscal year.
  Mr. Speaker, I withdraw my reservation of objection.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the 
gentleman from North Carolina (Mr. Taylor)?
  There was no objection.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Chair will put the amendments en gros.
  The amendments were agreed to.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the engrossment and third 
reading of the bill.
  The bill was ordered to be engrossed and read a third time, and was 
read the third time.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on passage of the bill.
  Pursuant to clause 10 of rule XX, the yeas and nays are ordered.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to clause 8 of rule XX, this will 
be a 15 minute vote on passage, which will be followed by a 5 minute 
vote on approving the Journal.
  The vote was taken by electronic device, and there were--yeas 380, 
nays 38, not voting 15, as follows:
