                    in the house of representatives

                       Wednesday, March 22, 1995
  Mr. PORTMAN. Mr. Speaker, because of my attendance at the White House 
for a ceremony commemorating the signing by President Clinton of S. 1, 
the Unfunded Mandate Reform Act of 1995, of which I was a House 
sponsor, I was unable to be in attendance in the House for two recorded 
votes, rollcall vote No. 253 on permitting the committee to sit, and 
rollcall vote No. 254 on approval of the Journal.
  Had I been in attendance, I would have voted ``yea'' on both rollcall 
votes No. 253 and No. 254.
