  Mr. PORTMAN. Mr. Speaker, on July 14, 2003, I was unavoidably 
detained and missed the vote on rollcall No. 356 on H.R. 2673, the 
Fiscal Year 2004 Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug 
Administration and Related Agencies Appropriations Act. Had I been 
present, I would have voted ``no.''
