On the recordMarch 9, 2006
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
