                        Friday, November 7, 1997

  Ms. CARSON. Mr. Speaker, on Thursday, November 7, 1997, I was 
necessarily absent conducting official business in my Congressional 
District and was unable to cast the following rollcall votes. Had I 
been present, I would have voted as follows and request that this 
explanation appear at the appropriate place in the Record:
  ``Yea'' on rollcall votes 592, 595, 598, and 605; ``nay'' on rollcall 
votes 585, 586, 587, 588, 589, 590, 591, 593, 594, 596, 597, 599, 600, 
601, 602, 603, and 604.
  As a result of air traffic problems this morning, my return to 
Washington was delayed causing me to miss the first vote of the day. 
Had I been present, I would have voted ``nay'' on rollcall vote 606.
