                Announcement by the Speaker Pro Tempore

  The SPEAKER pro tempore (during the vote). Members are advised 2 
minutes remain in this vote.


                         Parliamentary Inquiry

  Mr. SESSIONS (during the vote). Mr. Speaker, point of parliamentary 
inquiry.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman will state his inquiry.
  Mr. SESSIONS. Could the Speaker please provide this body with the 
information about how the Chair intends to rule in regard to the clock 
when it says ``time final,'' and yet you have gaveled several times, 
and yet you are accepting more votes. Could you please describe to us 
what we can count on. I think it is important for this entire body to 
understand so that we know when the votes are final and when they are 
not.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Chair will inform the gentleman from 
Texas that the board is for display only. The Chair will also tell the 
gentleman from Texas that the Chair began to announce the vote several 
times, but noticed that Members were still trying to vote; and to 
extend them the courtesy to vote, the Chair waited. Members from both 
sides of the aisle were trying to vote.
  Mr. SESSIONS. Mr. Speaker, I appreciate that. I also did recognize 
what you were trying to do. I am not opposed to extending courtesies. I 
am very obviously concerned about the extension of any time after the 
vote says ``final.''
  I thank the gentleman.

                              {time}  1136

  So the previous question was ordered.
  The result of the vote was announced as above recorded.


                             Point of Order

  Mr. MANZULLO. Mr. Speaker, point of order.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman will state his point of order.

[[Page 24525]]


  Mr. MANZULLO. Who was controlling the clock that puts up the word 
``final''?
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman is not stating a point of 
order.
  Mr. MANZULLO. The computer is doing it?
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The clock is for display only. As previously 
stated, the Chair was trying to close the vote, but Members were 
raising their hands indicating they had not voted, and the Chair 
extended them the courtesy of allowing them to vote.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the resolution.
  The question was taken; and the Speaker pro tempore announced that 
the noes appeared to have it.


                             Recorded Vote

  Ms. MATSUI. Mr. Speaker, I demand a recorded vote.
  A recorded vote was ordered.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. This will be a 5-minute vote.
  The vote was taken by electronic device, and there were--ayes 227, 
noes 190, not voting 15, as follows:

                             [Roll No. 872]
