  Mr. GALLEGLY. Mr. Speaker, on Thursday, March 17, 2005, I was unable 
to vote on a motion to suspend the rules and agree to H. Con. Res. 18, 
Expressing the grave concern of Congress regarding the continuing gross 
violations of human rights and civil liberties of the Syrian and 
Lebanese people by the government of the Syrian Arab Republic (roll 
call 89). Had I been present, I would have voted ``yea.''
