  Mr. GOSS. Mr. Speaker, I was not present on July 9, 2003, due to 
official travel overseas. As a result, I was not able to be present for 
rollcall votes 337, 338, 339, 340, 341, 342, 343, 344 and 345. Had I 
been present, I would have voted ``yea'' on all nine votes. I request 
that this statement appear at the appropriate place in the Record.
