                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                       Friday, September 18, 1998

  Mrs. TAUSCHER. Mr. Speaker, last night on recorded vote No. 448, I 
unavoidably missed the vote on the Kennedy Amendment to H.R. 4569 
because my beeper did not go off. Had I been present, I would have 
voted ``aye,'' consistent with my cosponsorship of H.R. 611, a bill to 
close the School of the America's which has graduated many of Latin 
America's most notorious dictators and human rights violators.
