  Ms. ROYBAL-ALLARD. Mr. Speaker, due to the need to attend the funeral 
of a close personal friend and campaign advisor in Los Angeles, I was 
absent for the House Session held on Wednesday, June 26, 1996. As a 
result, I missed a number of recorded floor votes including amendments 
and final passage to H.R. 3666, the VA-HUD-Independent Agencies 
appropriations bill for fiscal year 1997.
  My constituents have the right to know how I would have voted on the 
various amendments, bills, and rules considered during this time. For 
the Record, I would like to indicate my position on each missed vote:
