                        Wednesday, May 17, 2006

  Mr. NEUGEBAUER. Mr. Speaker, due to official business, I missed 
rollcall vote 146 on Thursday, May 11, 2006. Had I been present I would 
have voted ``aye.'' This was a vote on H. Res. 802, a resolution to 
encourage all eligible Medicare beneficiaries who have not yet elected 
to enroll in the new Medicare Part D benefit to review the available 
options and to determine whether enrollment in a Medicare prescription 
drug plan best meets their current

and future needs for prescription drug coverage.
  I wholeheartedly agree with the message in H. Res. 802. To that end, 
I have worked diligently to notify my constituents of this new program 
wherever I go. I am pleased so many seniors have chosen to participate 
in this program and that so many are saving money.
