                    in the house of representatives

                       Friday, September 26, 1997

  Mr. RADANOVICH. Mr. Speaker, on Thursday, September 25, 1997, I 
missed rollcall votes Nos. 447 and 455.
  Rollcall vote No. 447 was an amendment, by Representative Eleanor 
Holmes-Norton, to H.R. 2267 that would strike bill language to prohibit 
the use of funds to perform abortions in the Federal Prison System. Let 
the record state, that had I been present, I would have voted against 
this amendment.
  An amendment by Representative Joel Hefley, rollcall vote No. 455, 
was also offered on September 25, 1997. It would reduce funding for 
thee Economic Development Administration's trade adjustment assistance 
program by $90 million. I would like to make it known I would have 
voted in favor of this amendment had I been present to vote.
