  Mr. LaFALCE.  Mr. Speaker, unfortunately, due to illness, I was 
unable to be present on Thursday, May 1 for votes on amendments offered 
by the gentleman from Illinois, Mr. Jackson, and the gentleman from 
Florida, Mr. Weldon. Had I been present, I would have voted ``aye'' on 
rollcall No. 100, ``no'' on rollcall No. 101, and ``aye'' on rollcall 
No. 102. I ask unanimous consent that this explanation appear in the 
permanent Record next to the votes.
