                        Tuesday, April 15, 1997

  Mr. BALLENGER. Mr. Speaker, had I been present for rollcall votes 72, 
73, 74, and 75 last week, I would have voted ``yea.'' I am a cosponsor 
of H.R. 1003, the Assisted Suicide Funding Restriction Act of 1997, and 
applaud the leadership for bringing it to the floor for early adoption.
