  Mr. FOSSELLA. Mr. Speaker, I am not recorded on rollcall numbers 308 
for the Lewis and Clark Expedition Bicentennial Commemorative Coin Act; 
309 for the Sense of Congress Regarding the U.S. in the Cold war and 
the Fall of the Berlin Wall; and 310 for the Iran Nuclear Proliferation 
Prevention Act. I was unavoidably detained and therefore, could not 
vote for this legislation. Had I been present, I would have voted 
``aye'' for all of the above resolutions.
