  Mr. WARD. Mr. Speaker, on May 15, 1996, I was unavoidably detained 
and missed two rollcall votes. I would like the Record to show that had 
I been present for rollcall vote No. 173, on H.R. 3230, National 
Defense Authorization for Fiscal Year 1997, motion to recommit, I would 
have voted ``yes.'' On rollcall vote No. 174, final passage, I would 
have voted ``yes.''
