                       Friday, December 16, 2005

  Mr. ISTOOK. Mr. Speaker, my absence from the House chamber for 
today's votes and any held this weekend is due to my attending my 
daughter's wedding in Salt Lake City, Utah. The wedding was scheduled 
months ago, when the House was not expected to be in session during 
December.
