  Mr. KUYKENDALL. Mr. Chairman, I was unavoidably detained and missed 
rollcall vote No. 282, on the Sanders Amendment No. 13. Had I been 
here, I would have voted ``aye.''
  Mr. Speaker, I was unavoidably detained and missed rollcall vote No. 
283, on the Coburn Amendment No. 2. Had I been here, I would have voted 
``no.''
  Mr. REGULA. Mr. Chairman, I move to strike the last word.
  For the Members' information, what we plan to do is to rise from the 
Committee temporarily so that we can file Treasury Post Office, and we 
will then reconvene.
  We have about four amendments that I think will be noncontroversial. 
We will try to get those out of the way, and that will conclude the 
business for the evening. There will be no more votes today.
  Mr. Chairman, I move that the Committee do now rise.
  The motion was agreed to.
  Accordingly, the Committee rose; and the Speaker pro tempore (Mr. 
LaHood) having assumed the chair, Mr. LaTourette, Chairman of the 
Committee of the Whole House on the State

of the Union, reported that that Committee, having had under 
consideration the bill (H.R. 2466) making appropriations for the 
Department of the Interior and related agencies for the fiscal year 
ending September 30, 2000, and for other purposes, had come to no 
resolution thereon.
