  Mr. DAVIS of Tennessee. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to explain my 
absence on Friday, July 18, 2003 and Tuesday, July 22, 2003. I attended 
the funerals of Sgt. Roger Rowe, a Tennessee National Guardsman killed 
in Iraq, and Rose Barker, a longtime friend. I wanted to pay my 
respects to Sgt. Rowe and thank his family for his dedicated service to 
our country. I also wanted to say farewell to a very good friend in 
Rose.
