  Ms. LEE. Mr. Speaker, I was not present for votes Tuesday or 
Wednesday, due to official business in my district. Had I been present, 
I would have voted:
  Tuesday, March 5, 2002: ``Yea'' on H. Con. Res. 305, Permitting The 
Use Of the Rotunda For A Ceremony To Present A Congressional Gold Medal 
To Former President Ronald Reagan And Nancy Reagan.
  Wednesday, March 6, 2002: ``Yea'' on the Journal vote; ``nay'' on 
House Resolution 354, the rule for considering seven suspension bills, 
because I believe we should be passing meaningful unemployment 
insurance relief for laid-off workers first; and ``Yea'' on S.J. Res. 
32--Congratulating the U.S. Military Academy at West Point On Its 
Bicentennial Anniversary.
