                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, November 5, 2003

  Mr. SHAYS. Mr. Speaker, on November 4, 2003, I was in Connecticut 
participating in our local elections and, therefore, missed two 
recorded votes.
  I take my voting responsibility very seriously and would like the 
Congressional Record to reflect that, had I been present, I would have 
voted yes on recorded vote 602 and yes on recorded vote 603.
