  Stated for:
  Mr. BILIRAKIS. Mr. Speaker, because I was attending a funeral for a 
close family friend on October 8, 2002, I was in my district and unable 
to vote on S. 2690, the Pledge of Allegiance and National Motto 
Affirmation Act. Had I been present, I would have voted ``yea'' on 
rollcall vote No. 445.
  Ms. SOLIS. Mr. Speaker, during rollcall vote No. 445 on S. 2690 to 
reaffirm the reference to one Nation under god in the Pledge of 
Allegiance, I was unavoidably detained. Had I been present, I would 
have voted ``yea.''
