  Mr. ANDREWS. Mr. Speaker, I was unable to be present for votes on 
September 5, 2002 because I was taking my kids to their first day of 
school.
  Had I been present, I would have voted in favor of H.R. 4727, the Dam 
Safety and Security Act of 2002, and also in favor of H. Res. 94, 
honoring the contributions of Venus and Serena Williams.
