                    in the house of representatives

                        Friday, October 10, 2003

  Mr. EDWARDS. Mr. Speaker, during floor votes 535, 536 and 537, I was 
unavoidably detained meeting with representatives from Fort Hood. 
Fortunately, these bills were passed overwhelmingly, but had I been 
here to vote, I would have voted ``aye'' on each.
