                       Wednesday, October 6, 1999

  Mr. MASCARA. Mr. Speaker, I was unavoidably detained on October 5, 
1999 and, as a result, missed rollcall votes numbered 474 through 478: 
on passage of the National Medal of Honor Memorial; on Commending the 
Battle of the Bulge Veterans; on the Jackson-Lee (TX) Amendment to 
McCollum Substitute Amendment; and on the Jones (OH) Amendment to 
McCollum Substitute Amendment to the Child Abuse Prevention and 
Enforcement Act. Had I been present, I would have voted ``yea'' on the 
aforementioned rollcall votes.
