                        Tuesday, October 6, 1998

  Mr. HINOJOSA. Mr. Speaker, yesterday in my Congressional District I 
was hosting a jobs fair. Due to returning to Washington later than I 
had anticipated I missed three Suspension votes on the following bills: 
H.R. 4614, Conveyance of Federal Land in New Hampshire; H.R. 1154, 
Indian Federal Recognition Administrative Procedures Act of 1997; and 
H.R. 4655, Establishing a Program to Support a Transition to Democracy 
in Iraq.
  Had I been present I would have voted ``nay'' on H.R. 4614, ``yea'' 
on H.R. 1154, and ``yea'' on H.R. 4655.

                          ____________________
