                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, June 26, 1996

  Mr. TALENT. Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent to insert the 
following statement into the Congressional Record. On June 26, I missed 
three rollcall votes on the fiscal year 1997 VA/HUD appropriations bill 
because I was unavoidably detained. Had I been present, I would have 
voted as follows:
  On rollcall vote 272, I would have voted ``yes'';
  On rollcall vote 273, I would have voted ``no''; and
  On rollcall vote 274, I would have voted ``yes.''
