The question is on the motion offered by the gentleman from Virginia (Mr. Connolly) that the House suspend the rules and agree to the resolution, H. Res. 1032, 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: ``Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that the United States should continue to assist the Government of Mexico in fighting the drug cartels and curbing violence against Mexican and United States citizens, both in the United States and abroad.''. A motion to reconsider was laid on the table. ____________________
