                Announcement by the Speaker Pro Tempore

  The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mr. Shimkus) (during the vote). Members are 
advised that there are 2 minutes remaining in this vote.

                              {time}  1441

  So the bill was passed.
  The result of the vote was announced as above recorded.
  The title of the bill was amended so as to read: ``A bill to require 
States to hold special elections to fill vacancies in the House of 
Representatives not later than 49 days after the vacancy is announced 
by the Speaker of the House of Representatives in extraordinary 
circumstances, and for other purposes.''.
  A motion to reconsider was laid on the table.
  Stated for:
  Mr. DEAL of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I inadvertently missed rollcall 
vote 52 on the final passage of H.R. 841, ``Continuity in 
Representation Act.'' Had I been present, I would have voted ``aye.''
  Mrs. EMERSON. Mr. Speaker, I regret that my vote was not recorded 
even though I was present for rollcall No. 52 on H.R. 841, the 
Continuity in Representation Act. Had I been able to vote, I would have 
voted ``aye'' and would like the Record to reflect this fact.
  Mr. MICA. Mr. Speaker, I was unavoidably detained and was unable to 
vote on rollcall 52. Had I been present, I would have voted ``aye'' on 
this measure.
  Mr. KUHL of New York. Mr. Speaker, on rollcall No. 52, on passage of 
H.R. 841--The Continuity in Representation Act--I was absent due to 
circumstances beyond my control. Had I been present I would have voted 
``aye.''
  Ms. GINNY BROWN-WAITE of Florida. Mr. Speaker, as indicated by the 
Record, I was present voting this afternoon for all recorded votes 
except for H.R. 841, the Continuity in Representation Act. 
Unfortunately my card did not register when I cast my vote for that 
bill. If it had, it would have read that I voted in favor of H.R. 841.
  Mr. WELDON of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, on rollcall vote 52, for 
H.R. 841, I was not recorded to vote. Had I been recorded, I would have 
voted ``aye.''

                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

  Mr. ISSA. Mr. Speaker, today I missed four recorded votes. If I had 
been present for rollcall vote 49, I would have voted ``no.'' If I had 
been present for rollcall vote 50, I would have voted ``no.'' If I had 
been present for rollcall vote 51, I would have voted ``no.'' If I had 
been present for rollcall vote 52, I would have voted ``aye.''
