  Mr. SESSIONS. Mr. Speaker, yesterday, when the House voted on House 
Resolution 93, expressing the sense of the Congress regarding the 
Consumer Price Index. I was unavoidably detained, and could not record 
my vote on this important resolution. The Consumer Price Index is 
appropriately monitored by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. I would like 
the record to reflect that I would have voted in the affirmative on 
this resolution.
