  Mr. BALLENGER. Mr. Speaker, on Friday, October 6, I missed rollcall 
vote 516, final passage of the FY 2001 Transportation appropriations 
conference report (H.R. 4475). Had I been present, I would have voted 
``yea''. I also missed rollcall vote 517, the rule for H.R. 3244, the 
Sexual Trafficking Victims Protection Act, and rollcall 518, final 
passage of H.R. 3244. Had I been present, I would have voted ``yea'' on 
both.
