                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, October 21, 1997

  Mr. SCHUMER. Mr. Speaker, I was unavoidably detained on Thursday, 
October 9, and unable to cast several votes on the District of Columbia 
appropriations bill. Had I been here I would have voted ``no'' on final 
passage of the bill, ``yes'' on the Moran substitute, and ``no'' on the 
motion to table the motion to reconsider.
