  Mr. FATTAH. Mr. Speaker, I request that you please record my vote for 
final passage of H.R. 123, during the markup of the Language of 
Government Act on Wednesday, July 24, 1996. I was unavoidably detained 
at a prior commitment, and when I returned, the final vote had been 
taken.
  Had I been present, I would have voted ``no'' on final passage.
