                           HON. KWEISI MFUME

                              of maryland

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, July 25, 1995
  Mr. MFUME. Mr. Speaker, I was, unfortunately, detained in my 
congressional district in Baltimore earlier today to attend the funeral 
of five family members who were tragically killed late last week. In my 
absence, I was forced to miss two record votes. Specifically, I was not 
present to record my vote on rollcall vote No. 563, motion to recommit 
the Bill H.R. 1942, and rollcall vote No. 564, final passage of H.R. 
1942.
  Had I been here I would have voted ``yea'' on rollcall vote No. 563, 
the motion to recommit, and ``nay'' on rollcall No. 564, final passage.
