                        Thursday, March 7, 2002

  Mr. JEFF MILLER of Florida. Mr. Speaker, I was unavoidably detained 
earlier today while attending a closed hearing for Schism v. the United 
States in the U.S. Court of Appeals, here in Washington, DC. Being a 
closed hearing, I was unable to leave when this afternoon's vote was 
called and further, had the understanding that the vote would not occur 
until a time certain. I respectfully request the Record to reflect 
that, had I been here, I would have voted ``yea'' on S.J. Res. 32.
