                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                         Wednesday, May 6, 1998

  Mr. FOSSELLA. Mr. Speaker, I wanted to take this opportunity to 
inform you that I was unable to attend the session of the House of 
Representatives on May 5, 1998 and for a portion for May 6, 1998. My 
absence was due to the fact that my son Dylan Fossella was hospitalized 
and had to undergo surgery.
  I would like the Record to reflect that I would have voted in favor 
of the passage of H.R. 1872, H. Res. 267 and H. Con. Res. 220.
