                               of alabama

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, June 16, 1998

  Mr. EVERETT. Mr. Speaker, on June 11th, I was unable to cast my vote 
in support of H.R. 466, condemning the brutal killing of James Byrd, 
Jr. The measure was not scheduled for the day's legislative business, 
and I had already committed to travel plans to reach my district that 
evening. Had I been present, I would have voted ``aye.''
