Representative Berkowitz objected.

Representative Porter placed a call of the House                               
                                                                               
**The presence of Representative Nicholia was noted.                           
                                                                               
The Speaker stated the call was satisfied.                                     
                                                                               
Representative Berkowitz withdrew the objection.  There being no               
further objection, HCS CSSJR 35(FIN), which was advanced to third              
reading from the May 10, 1998 calendar (page 3735), was read the               
third time.                                                                    
                                                                               
                                                                               
The question being:  "Shall HCS CSSJR 35(FIN) pass the House?"                 
The roll was taken with the following result:                                  
                                                                               
HCS CSSJR 35(FIN)                                                              
Third Reading                                                                  
Final Passage

And so, lacking the necessary 27 votes, HCS CSSJR 35(FIN) failed to            
pass the House.                                                                
                                                                               
Representative Vezey gave notice of reconsideration of his vote on             
HCS CSSJR 35(FIN)(fld H).                                                      
                                                                               
                                                                               
The Speaker stated that, without objection, the House would recess             
until 7:00 p.m.; and so, the House recessed at 6:26 p.m.
