  Mr. PACKARD. Mr. Speaker, I was unavoidably detained on Thursday, May 
16, 1996, and was unable to cast my vote on rollcall vote No. 179, 
which was the adoption of House Concurrent Resolution 178, the fiscal 
year 1997 budget resolution. Had I been present I would have voted 
``yea'' on this rollcall. I ask unanimous consent that my statement 
appear in the Record immediately following rollcall vote No. 179.
