In closing, I would encourage my colleagues to vote ``aye'' on the pending question. Doing so will allow this important homeland security legislation to be sent to the President's desk for his signature without delay. I yield back the balance of my time. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the motion offered by the gentlewoman from New York (Ms. Clarke) that the House suspend the rules and concur in the Senate amendment to the bill, H.R. 730. The question was taken. The SPEAKER pro tempore. In the opinion of the Chair, two-thirds being in the affirmative, the ayes have it.
