                Announcement by the Speaker Pro Tempore

  The SPEAKER pro tempore (during the vote). There are 2 minutes 
remaining.

                              {time}  1142

  Mr. STEARNS changed his vote from ``nay'' to ``yea.''
  So the conference report was agreed to.
  The result of the vote was announced as above recorded.
  A motion to reconsider was laid on the table.
  Stated against:
  Mr. FILNER. Mr. Speaker, on rollcall 33, I was away from the Capitol 
due to prior commitments to my constituents. Had I been present, I 
would have voted ``nay.''


                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

  Mr. HONDA. Mr. Speaker, I was inadvertently not recorded on rollcall 
33, on the Conference Report on H.R. 658, the FAA Reauthorization Act. 
I intended to vote ``no'' on the conference report because of the 
provisions it contains that would be devastating to workers' rights and 
labor relations. These provisions take away the right for a secret 
ballot and codify minority-rule elections, as well as allowing for 
wholesale decertification of a whole host of unions.
  I do not believe that a conference report on an aviation safety bill 
is the place to rewrite longstanding labor laws and impose unrelated 
and controversial labor provisions that will ultimately serve to harm 
both airline and railroad workers, and so I intended to vote ``no'' on 
rollcall 33.
