                        Wednesday, March 1, 2000

  Mr. SHOWS. Mr. Speaker, I was away from the floor of the House on 
Tuesday, February 29, 2000, on official business and was unable to cast 
a recorded vote on rollcall 26.
  Had I been present for rollcall 26, I would have voted ``yea'' on the 
motion to suspend the rules and pass S. 613, the Indian Tribal Economic 
Development and Contract Encouragement Act.
