  Mr. WATTS of Oklahoma. Mr. Speaker, I was unavoidably detained in my 
district on January 31, 2000 and missed Recorded Votes #2 (Authorizing 
the Use of the Rotunda for Holocaust Memorial) and #3 (the Hillory J. 
Farias and Samantha Reid Date-Rape Prevention Drug Act of 1999).
  Had I been present, I would have voted ``aye'' on final passage of H. 
Con. Res. 244 and ``aye'' on final passage of H.R. 2130, on January 31, 
2000.
