  Mr. LONG changed his vote from ``yea'' to ``nay.''
  Mr. GOSAR changed his vote from ``present'' to ``nay.''
  So (two-thirds being in the affirmative) the rules were suspended and 
the joint resolution was passed.
  The result of the vote was announced as above recorded.
  A motion to reconsider was laid on the table.
  Stated for:
  Ms. SPEIER. Mr. Speaker, I was in the Rayburn room meeting with 
constituents and was not alerted to the vote being called. Had I been 
present, I would have voted ``yea'' on rollcall No. 560.
  Mr. PETERSON. Mr. Speaker, it was my intention to vote yea on 
Representative Eliot Engel of New York's House Joint Resolution 77 
(Roll Call Vote no. 560) on October 16, 2019.


                          personal explanation

  Mr. BUDD. Mr. Speaker, I missed votes today to attend the funeral of 
a family friend. Had I been present, I would have voted ``nay'' on 
rollcall No. 558, ``nay'' on rollcall No. 559 and ``nay'' on rollcall 
No. 560.
