  Mr. TAYLOR of Mississippi. Mr. Speaker, on the evening of Monday, 
July 10th, I was unavoidably detained because of inclement weather in 
Atlanta which caused the cancellation of my connecting flight from 
Mississippi to Washington, DC. Due to this circumstance, I missed 
rollcall votes 373 through 378. If I had been able to vote, I would 
have voted: ``yea'' on rollcall No. 373, ``yea'' on rollcall No. 374, 
``yea'' on rollcall No. 375, ``yea'' on rollcall No. 376, ``yea'' on 
rollcall No. 377, and ``nay'' on rollcall No. 378.
