  So (two-thirds being in the affirmative) the rules were suspended and 
the concurrent resolution was agreed to.
  The result of the vote was announced as above recorded.
  A motion to reconsider was laid on the table.
  Stated for:
  Mr. PORTER. Mr. Speaker, I was unduly delayed for the vote on H. Con. 
Res. 5, Expressing the Support for the designation and goals of ``Hire 
a Veteran Week.'' Had I been able to vote, I would have voted ``yea'' 
on H. Con. Res. 5.
  The Armed Services provide invaluable experience to the men and women 
who serve this great nation. With this experience, veterans are an 
extremely valuable asset to our workforce in Southern Nevada and 
throughout the United States.
