                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, June 16, 1999

  Mr. SHOWS. Mr. Speaker, because inclement weather delayed my 
connecting flight from Jackson, Mississippi, on Monday, June 14, 1999, 
I was unable to cast a recorded vote on rollcall No. 204.
  Had I been present, I would have voted ``yea'' to suspend the rules 
and pass H.R. 1400, the Bond Price Competition Improvement Act of 1999.
