814 (on the motion to suspend the rules and agree to H. Res. 368, as 
amended), ``yes'' on rollcall vote No. 815 (on the motion to suspend 
the rules and agree to H. Res. 562), ``no'' on rollcall vote No. 816 
(on the motion to instruct conferees on H.R. 2996), ``yes'' on rollcall

amended), and ``yes'' on rollcall vote No. 818 (on the motion to
