  Mr. OXLEY. Mr. Speaker, I was in my congressional district yesterday 
participating in events in support of the 179th Airlift Wing of the 
Ohio Air National Guard, which has been slated for closure by the 
Department of Defense. As a result, I was absent from the floor during 
yesterday's rollcall votes.
  Had I been present, I would have voted against the Watt amendment to 
H.J. Res. 10, in favor of tabling each of the two appeals of the ruling 
of the chair on the motion to recommit H.J. Res. 10, in favor of final 
passage of H.J. Res. 10, in favor of ordering the previous question on 
H. Res. 334, in favor of H. Res. 334, against the Baird amendment to 
H.R. 2985, against the Jo Ann Davis amendment to H.R. 2985, against the 
Hefley amendment to H.R. 2985, against the motion to recommit H.R. 
2985, and in favor of final passage of H.R. 2985.
