                        Wednesday, May 17, 2006

  Mr. AL GREEN of Texas. Mr. Speaker, today I was unavoidably delayed 
and missed the vote on the Jackson-Lee amendment to H.R. 5122, the 
National Defense Authorization Act, rollcall 143.
  I respectfully request the opportunity to record my position. Had I 
been present I would have voted ``yea'' on rollcall 143.
  At this time I would ask for unanimous consent that my position be 
entered into the Record following that vote or in the appropriate 
portion of the Record.
