I would yield 30 seconds to myself to say that anyone who has gone to the United Kingdom, you feel this special relationship as we mentioned on both sides of the aisle. You feel the camaraderie and you do feel the special bond. I would say tongue in cheek, if we look at the British coalition together, they put together a coalition of liberal Democrats and conservatives; and I would say to the gentlewoman from Florida, if we could do that more often, we may learn a lot more from the British. I yield back the balance of my time. The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mr. Deutch). The question is on the motion offered by the gentleman from New York (Mr. Engel) that the House suspend the rules and agree to the resolution, H. Res. 1303, 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 of the resolution was amended so as to read: ``Recognizing the special relationship and historic ties between the United Kingdom and the United States.''. A motion to reconsider was laid on the table. ____________________
