  Mr. KLECZKA. Mr. Speaker, on Wednesday, March 25, 1998, I was granted 
an Official Leave of Absence to attend a family funeral.
  As an elected Representative of Wisconsin's Fourth Congressional 
District, I have responsibility to my constituents to inform them of 
the votes from yesterday and to apprise them of how I would have voted.
  The following indicates how I would have voted on Rollcall Votes Nos. 
68, 70 and 71.


------------------------------------------------------------------------
          Rollcall No.                 Bill No.            Position

68..............................  H.R. 2589           No
                                   (McCollum Amdt.).
70..............................  H.R. 2578 (Pombo    Yes

had been present.
