         Representative Ron Lewis moved to reconsider the vote by which  
         the measure was reported from committee.  The motion to  
         reconsider prevailed without objection. This action was taken  
         due to lack of a certified copy at the initial meeting in  
         order to repeat the action that the committee took in that  
         meeting. 
          
         Representative Lewis, Ron moved that HR 910 be reported

         pass and be printed.  The motion prevailed by the following  
         vote:
