                Announcement by the Speaker Pro Tempore

  The SPEAKER pro tempore (during the vote). Two minutes remain in this 
vote.

                              {time}  1854

  So (two-thirds being in the affirmative) the rules were suspended and 
the bill, as amended, was passed.
  The result of the vote was announced as above recorded.
  A motion to reconsider was laid on the table.
  Stated for:
  Mr. FILNER. Mr. Speaker, on rollcall 330, I was away from the Capitol 
region attending the Civil Rights Freedom Riders' 50th Anniversary 
Celebration. Had I been present, I would have voted ''yea.''
  Mrs. NAPOLITANO. Mr. Speaker, on Monday, May 23, 2011, I was absent 
during rollcall vote No. 330 due to travel delays. Had I been present, 
I would have voted ``yea'' on the motion to suspend the rules and agree 
to H.R. 1627--Honoring American Veterans Act of 2011. This bill 
codifies the current practices at Arlington National Cemetery (ANC) 
regarding the placement and funding of commemorative monuments, 
eligibility requirements, and suitability for burial. Those who have 
served our country honorably deserve a chance to be commemorated at 
this military cemetery, where veterans and military casualities from 
each of the nation's wars have been laid to rest.
  Mr. PALAZZO. Mr. Speaker, on rollcall No. 330 I was unavoidably 
detained. Had I been present, I would have voted ``yea.''

                          ____________________
