                        Wednesday, June 16, 1999

  Mrs. CLAYTON. Mr. Speaker, on rollcall No. 188, the Weldon 
amendment--to ``provide $7.3 million for the operation and maintenance 
of space launch facilities and require a study of space launch ranges 
and requirements,'' I was absent for the above-referenced vote because 
I was in North Carolina attending the funeral services for the father 
of my District Office Director. Had I been present, I would have voted 
``yea.''
