                        Wednesday, May 24, 2006

  Miss McMORRIS. Mr. Speaker, during the second series of votes on 
amendments to H.R. 5384 the Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and 
Drug Administration, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2007, I 
was avoidably detained and missed two votes on amendments by 
Representative Jeff Flake.
  Had I been present I would have voted in favor of H. Amdt. 904 to 
prohibit any of the funds made available in the Act from being used to 
fund dairy education in Iowa and H. Amdt. 909 to prohibit use of funds 
in the bill for the Hydroponic Tomato Production, Ohio grant.
