  Mr. SESSIONS. Mr. Speaker, due to unexpected circumstances, I am 
speaking at the funeral of a family friend back in my district today.

would have voted as follows: Kanjorski Amendment No. 51: ``no''; 
McCarthy Amendment No. 168: ``aye''; Peters Amendment No. 22: ``no''; 
Conyers/Marshall Amendment No. 201: ``no''; Schakowsky Amendment No.
