“In closing, I urge my colleagues to support the legislation, and I yield back the balance of my time. Mr. McKINLEY. Mr. Speaker, in closing, again, this is the last remaining disposal site that we need to keep open. I appreciate the support, and I applaud the work of my colleague from Colorado (Mr. Tipton) for his efforts and Diana DeGette and the bipartisan nature of that cooperation between the two of them to get this done. Mr. Speaker, I call upon the Members to support this legislation, and I yield back the balance of my time. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the motion offered by the gentleman from West Virginia (Mr. McKinley) that the House suspend the rules and pass the bill, H.R. 2278, 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 extend the authorization of the Uranium Mill Tailings Radiation Control Act of 1978 relating to the disposal site in Mesa County, Colorado.''. A motion to reconsider was laid on the table. ____________________”
