“Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume. This bill satisfies the committee's naming criteria, and, as Dr. Heck said, it is supported by the entire Nevada Congressional Delegation as well as by veterans service organizations, including the American Legion and the VFW. I urge my colleagues to join me in supporting this great bill. I would appreciate it very much. Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the motion offered by the gentleman from Florida (Mr. Bilirakis) that the House suspend the rules and pass the bill, H.R. 3969, as amended. The question was taken; and (two-thirds being in the affirmative) the rules were suspended and the bill, as amended, was passed. The title of the bill was amended so as to read: ``A bill to designate the Department of Veterans Affairs community-based outpatient clinic in Laughlin, Nevada, as the `Master Chief Petty Officer Jesse Dean VA Clinic'.''. A motion to reconsider was laid on the table. ____________________”
