                       Wednesday, March 19, 2003

  Ms. SLAUGHTER. Mr. Speaker, I was unable to be present for rollcall 
vote Nos. 65, 66, and 67 due to my attendance at the funeral for former 
Rochester Mayor Thomas P. Ryan, Jr. and traffic jams caused by the 
standoff with Mr. Watson on the Mall in Washington, DC. Had I been 
present, I would have voted ``aye'' on rollcall vote Nos. 65, 66, and 
67. Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent that my statement appear in 
the permanent Record immediately following this vote.

       H. Con. Res. 26, rollcall No. 65, ``aye.''
       H.R. 868, rollcall No. 66, ``aye.''
       H. Res. 109, rollcall No. 67, ``aye.''
