  Mrs. FOWLER. Mr. Speaker, on Saturday, September 28, 1996, I was 
unavoidably detained at the Atlanta Airport and could not be present to 
vote on rollcall No. 453, the omnibus parks and public lands management 
bill (H.R. 4236), and rollcall No. 455, the Fiscal Year 1997 Department 
of Defense appropriations conference report and Fiscal Year 1997 
omnibus consolidated appropriations bill (H.R. 3610).
  Had I been present, I would have voted ``aye'' on both of these 
measures.
