                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, July 24, 1996

  Mr. HORN. Mr. Speaker, on rollcall No. 346, the Goss amendment which 
sought to cut the Economic Development Administration by 30 percent, I 
was unavoidably detained on official business with staff members of the 
Subcommittee on Government Management, Information, and Technology, and 
could not come to the floor to support EDA based on the positive 
contribution which that agency has made to the redevelopment of Long 
Beach, CA.
  Had I been present, I would have voted ``nay.''
