 MOTION TO GO TO CONFERENCE ON H.R. 2577, TRANSPORTATION, HOUSING AND 
    URBAN DEVELOPMENT, AND RELATED AGENCIES APPROPRIATIONS ACT, 2016

  Mr. ROGERS of Kentucky. Madam Speaker, pursuant to House Resolution 
751, I have a motion at the desk.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Clerk will report the motion.
  The Clerk read as follows:

       Mr. Rogers of Kentucky moves that the House insist on its 
     amendment to the Senate amendment to H.R. 2577 and request a 
     conference with the Senate thereon.

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Kentucky is recognized 
for 1 hour.
  Mr. ROGERS of Kentucky. Madam Speaker, I rise today on the motion to 
go to conference on the House amendment to the Senate amendment to H.R. 
2577, which was originally the fiscal year 2016 Transportation-HUD 
Appropriations Act.
  As amended, the legislation now contains H.R. 4974, the House-passed 
Military Construction and Veterans Affairs Appropriations bill of 2017; 
H.R. 5243, the Zika Response Appropriations Act; and H.R. 897, the Zika 
Vector Control Act.
  Madam Speaker, this is a good package of bills that will ensure the 
care of our veterans, provide needed resources for our troops and their 
families, and allow for responsible, ample funding and authorities to 
fight the spread of the Zika virus.
  I urge my colleagues to support this motion so that a conference 
committee with the Senate can begin in short order and so that Congress 
can come to a final resolution on this critical legislation.
  I yield back the balance of my time.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Without objection, the previous question is 
ordered on the motion.
  There was no objection.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the motion offered by the 
gentleman from Kentucky (Mr. Rogers).
  The motion was agreed to.
  A motion to reconsider was laid on the table.

                          ____________________
