It's been a pleasure sharing the floor with the gentleman from Georgia this afternoon, Representative Broun. I want to thank him for his comments and urge passage of this resolution, and I yield back the balance of my time. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the motion offered by the gentleman from Illinois (Mr. Davis) that the House suspend the rules and agree to the resolution, H. Res. 792, as amended. The question was taken; and (two-thirds being in the affirmative) the rules were suspended and the resolution, as amended, was agreed to. The title was amended so as to read: ``Resolution recognizing and honoring Robert Kelly Slater for winning the 2010 Rip Curl Pro Bell Championship and for his other outstanding achievements in the world of surfing.''. A motion to reconsider was laid on the table. ____________________
