  Mr. GOSS. Mr. Speaker, this evening I had to depart early for a 
previously scheduled meeting. As a result, I was not able to be present 
for rollcall votes 52, 53, and 54. Had I been present, I would have 
voted ``no,'' on rollcall votes 52 and 53. I would have voted ``yea,'' 
on rollcall vote 54. I request that this statement appear at the 
appropriate place in the Record. Thank you.
