  Mr. CLINGER. Mr. Speaker, on June 19, 1996, I was unavoidably 
detained and missed rollcall votes 254, 255, 256, and 257 during 
consideration of H.R. 3662, a bill making appropriations for fiscal 
year 1997 for the Department of Interior and related agencies.
  Had I been present, I would have voted ``no'' on rollcall 254, ``no'' 
on rollcall 255, ``no'' on rollcall 256, ``no'' on rollcall 257.
  I ask unanimous consent that my statement appear in the Congressional 
Record immediately following these votes.
