                      Thursday, December 20, 2001

  Mr. OWENS. Mr. Speaker, because I had to return to my district to 
handle very urgent business, I missed a number of rollcall votes. Had I 
been present, I would have voted `yea' on rollcall votes 505 and 508. 
On rollcall votes 506, 507 and 509, I would have voted ``nay''.
