                       Thursday, January 25, 1996

  Mr. WARD. Mr. Speaker, on January 24, 1996, I was unavoidably 
detained due to my travel with President Clinton to my district, and 
missed one rollcall vote. I would like the record to show that had I 
been present for rollcall vote No. 16, on S. 1124, the Defense 
authorization for fiscal year 1996, I would have voted ``yes.''
