  Mr. LIGHTFOOT. Speaker, due to my son's hospitalization I was unable 
to be present and voting on January 3, 1996.
  Had I been present I would have voted in favor of overriding the veto 
of H.R. 1530, the National Defense Authorization Act and in favor of 
overriding the veto of H.R. 2076, the Commerce, Justice, State, and the 
Judiciary Appropriations Act.
