                       Tuesday, September 9, 1997

  Mr. NEUMANN. Mr. Speaker, on September 4 of this year, obligations 
with my family prevented me from casting several votes on H.R. 2159, 
the Fiscal Year 1998 Foreign Operations Appropriations Act. Had I been 
present, I would have voted ``no'' on rollcall vote No. 362--the Gilman 
amendment. I would have voted ``aye'' on rollcall vote No. 363--the 
Smith (NJ) amendment, and I would have voted ``aye'' on rollcall vote 
No. 364--final passage of the bill.
