  Mr. NORWOOD. Mr. Speaker, on July 21, 1998, I was unavoidably 
detained during the vote on the Johnson amendment (Roll No. 312) to 
H.R. 4193--FY 1999 Interior Appropriations Act to restore the National 
Endowment for the Arts (NEA) funding to its previous level of $98 
million. Had I been in attendance, I would have voted ``No.''
