Ordering the Previous Question, H. Res. 1490, ``nay''; rollcall vote 
No. 638, On Agreeing to the Resolution, H. Res. 1490, ``nay''; rollcall 
vote No. 639, On Motion to Suspend the Rules and Pass, as Amended, H.R. 
758, ``aye''; rollcall vote No. 640, On Ordering the Previous Question, 
H. Res. 1501, ``nay''; rollcall vote No. 641, On Motion to Suspend the 
Rules and Agree, as Amended, H. Con. Res. 255, ``aye''; rollcall vote 
No. 642, On Motion to Suspend the Rules and Pass, as Amended, H.R. 
1014, ``aye''; rollcall vote No. 643, On Motion to Suspend the Rules 
and Pass, H.R. 6950, ``aye''; rollcall vote No. 644, On Motion to 
Suspend the Rules and Agree, as Amended, H. Res. 1421, ``aye.''
