  Mr. SHOWS. Mr. Speaker, I was away from the floor of the House on 
Tuesday, May 16, 2000, on official business and was unable to cast a 
recorded vote on rollcall 184.
  Had I been present for rollcall 184, I would have voted ``yea'' on 
passage of H.R. 4425, the motion to suspend the rules and pass H.R. 
1089, Military Construction Appropriations for Fiscal Year 2001.
