                      Wednesday, January 24, 1996

  Mr. WARD. Mr. Speaker, on January 23, 1996, I was unavoidably 
detained due to changes in my air travel, which were out of my control, 
and missed three rollcall votes. I would like the record to show that 
had I been present for rollcall vote No. 13, on H.R. 2657, the Ruth & 
Billy Graham Congressional Gold Medal bill, I would have voted ``yes.'' 
On rollcall vote No. 14, S. 1341, the Saddleback Mountain--Arizona 
Settlement bill, I would have voted ``yes.'' And on rollcall vote No. 
15, H.R. 2726, Technical Corrections to Native American Laws, I would 
have voted ``yes.''
