                         Tuesday, July 12, 2005

  Mr. NEUGEBAUER. Mr. Speaker, I was unable to return to Washington, 
DC, in time for votes on Monday, July 11, due to official congressional 
business in Texas. I testified yesterday, before the Base Realignment 
and Closure, BRAC, Commission meeting in San Antonio in support of 
Dyess Air Force Base which is located in my congressional district. As 
a result, I missed rollcall votes Nos. 363 and 364. Had I been present 
I would have voted ``aye'' on both votes:
  Rollcall vote No. 363: H. Con. Res. 168--Condemning the Democratic 
People's Republic of Korea for the abductions and continued captivity 
of citizens of the Republic of Korea and Japan as acts of terrorism and 
gross violations of human rights; and
  Rollcall vote No. 364: H. Res. 333--Supporting the goals and ideals 
of a National Weekend of Prayer and Reflection for Darfur, Sudan.

                          ____________________
