  Ms. McCOLLUM. Mr. Speaker, yesterday I was giving the keynote address 
at the second annual Native American Health Conference. Due to 
transportation constraints, I was unable to make it back to the Capitol 
to vote for H.R. 1383, H.R. 1627, and H.R. 1657. Had I been present, I 
would have voted ``yea'' on all of these important bills.
