  Mr. CLINGER. Mr. Speaker, on Thursday, September 12, 1996, the House 
voted on the conference report to the fiscal year 1997 Energy and Water 
Appropriations Act.
  I was unable to cast my vote on the conference report as I was 
granted an official leave of absence from House proceedings on 
September 12. Had I been present, I would have voted ``aye'' on 
rollcall 413.
