                                of ohio

                    in the house of representatives

                         Thursday, July 1, 1999

  Mr. NEY. Mr. Speaker, on June 8, 1999, the House voted on the 
Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and 
Related Agencies FY 2000 Appropriations Act. More specifically, when 
the vote on the Chabot amendment (rollcall No. 174) took place, I was 
unavoidably detained. The Chabot amendment would have sought to 
prohibit funding for Market Access Program allocations. If I was 
present, I would have voted ``no.''
