this morning, we voted on the previous question on the rule for H.R 2829, the Office of National Drug Control Policy. At the time that the vote was called, I was in the Energy and Commerce Committee participating in a hearing regarding the Department of Energy Budget. In my rush to go from the hearing to the House floor and for more meetings, I inadvertently voted ``yes'' on the previous question rather than ``no'' as I had intended. While I know that my vote would not have changed the outcome of the previous question vote, I feel strongly that the House should be allowed the opportunity to consider legislation that would block the Dubai port deal and strengthen the review process for future foreign port deals I would like the Record to reflect that I intended to vote ``no''. The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mr. Rehberg). The question is on the resolution. The resolution was agreed to. A motion to reconsider was laid on the table. general leave
