                                 ______
                                 

                        HON. WILLIAM L. JENKINS

                              of tennessee

                    in the house of representatives

                       Thursday, October 1, 1998

  Mr. JENKINS. Mr. Speaker, due to a death in the family, I was unable 
to be present to vote on Monday, September 28, 1998, for the following 
votes:
  Roll Call No. 473--H.R. 3150--I would have voted ``yea''
  Roll Call No. 472--H.R. 4060--I would have voted ``nay''--This 
contains no funding for the Tennessee Valley Authority to perform 
navigation and flood control for the citizens of the First 
Congressional District of Tennessee. This is unfair because navigation 
and flood control are paid for in every section of the country.
  Roll Call No. 471--H.R. 4103--I would have voted ``yea''
  Roll Call No. 470--H.R. 3891--I would have voted ``yea''
