  Mr. CLAY. Mr. Speaker, last night I experienced a sudden illness and 
was unable to cast my vote against the Crane amendment to rescind 
funding from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. I wish to inform 
this body that I have long supported Federal funding for the 
Corporation for Public Broadcasting and will continue to do so in the 
future.
