The question is on the motion offered by the gentleman from California (Mr. Takano) that the House suspend the rules and pass the bill, H.R. 5481, as amended.

The title of the bill was amended so as to read: ``A bill to name the Department of Veterans Affairs community-based outpatient clinic in Forest City, North Carolina, as the `Master Sergeant Jerry K. Crump VA Clinic'.''. A motion to reconsider was laid on the table. ____________________
