                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, April 1, 1998

  Mr. BERRY. Mr. Speaker, unfortunately, I missed roll call votes 
number 87, 88, and 89 on Tuesday March 31, 1998, due to the memorial 
service that was held in Jonesboro, Arkansas for the victims and 
survivors of last week's tragic shooting.
  Had I been present, I would have voted: ``Yes'' on roll call vote 
number 87; I would have voted ``No'' on roll call vote number 88; and, 
I would have voted ``Present'' on roll call vote number 89.
  I request that this be included in the Record immediately following 
these votes.
