      RECOGNIZING THE 20TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE CIVIL LIBERTIES ACT

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The unfinished business is the question on 
suspending the rules and agreeing to the resolution, H. Res. 1357, as 
amended.
  The Clerk read the title of the resolution.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the motion offered by the 
gentleman from Michigan (Mr. Conyers) that the House suspend the rules 
and agree to the resolution, H. Res. 1357, as amended.
  The question was taken; and (two-thirds being in the affirmative) the 
rules were suspended and the resolution, as amended, was agreed to.
  The title of the resolution was amended so as to read: ``Recognizing 
the significance of the 20th anniversary of the signing of the Civil 
Liberties Act of 1988 and the greatness of America in her ability to 
admit and remedy past mistakes and to recognize that there are other 
communities who may have suffered the mistakes of our government but 
have not received an apology and reparations.''.
  A motion to reconsider was laid on the table.
