                        Thursday, March 8, 2001

  Mr. OXLEY. Mr. Speaker, I returned to Ohio yesterday afternoon for 
the funeral of former Ohio Governor James A. Rhodes, under whom I 
served as a member of the Ohio House of Representatives. Consequently, 
I was absent from the House floor during yesterday's rollcall votes on 
H. Con. Res. 31, H.R. 624, and H. Con. Res. 47. Had I been present, I 
would have voted ``yea'' on each of those bills.
