                      SETTING THE RECORD STRAIGHT

  (Mr. TIAHRT asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. TIAHRT. Mr. Speaker, I would like to rise to set the record 
straight. Yesterday I was in the Committee on Science when the chairman 
laid out the rules for the vote that was going to precede the vote that 
came on the floor.
  What happened is the opposition to this tried to filibuster in the 
Committee on Science and then alleged that they missed the votes here. 
The chairman stayed throughout all debate. He then left the Committee 
on Science, came here and was able to register his vote. But still the 
charge is arrogance.
  Today I just left the Committee on Science. I just revoted on the 
very same amendment. It was allowed. We were considerate and yet no 
apology, just a charge of arrogance. When are we going to have some 
reality and some consideration on the floor of this House?
  I think it is time that we act like gentlewomen and gentlemen as we 
so profusely proclaim on the floor of this House.
