  Mr. SIMMONS. Mr. Speaker, I was regrettably detained in a meeting 
regarding the Base Realignment and Closure process affecting SUBASE New 
London in my district, and was unable to be on the House Floor for 
rollcall votes 390 and 394.
  Had I been present, I would have voted ``yea'' on rollcall 290, an 
amendment offered by Rep. King (IA), and ``yea'' on rollcall 294, an 
amendment offered by Rep. Watson.
